BNP Paribas Securities Services appointed custodian
Affin Hwang Asset Management Berhad has become the first Malaysian asset manager to launch a Luxembourg registered Ucits fund, the Affin Hwang Capital Asian Series.
BNP Paribas Securities Services has been selected as the administrative, registrar, transfer and domiciliary agent as well as custodian.

Affin Hwang AM specialises in Asian equity and fixed-income instruments and manages over €7bn of assets.
