Fitch Ratings has announced some major changes to its Asia Pacific structured finance team, which the agency says are designed to meet the growing demand for its services in the region. New members have been added to Fitch’s teams in Hong Kong, Australia, India, Japan, Thailand and Taiwan, bringing the overall number of Asia-Pacific analysts to 57, a 40% increase over the same time last year.
One significant change sees Kevin Stephenson, Fitch’s Asia-Pacific head of structured finance and structured credit; relocate from Sydney to Hong Kong. Fitch believes this will allow him to more effectively manage business in the region.
