Nikko Asset Management head of product and strategy departs

Hendrie Koster, Nikko Asset Management's head of product and strategy, has left the organisation.

A spokesperson for the organisation says that he is pursuing other interests. "Hendrie's contribution to our local product offering over the past few years has been invaluable, and we wish him every success in his pursuits. We will continue to work closely with our global colleagues on product development."

Koster spent nearly three years with Nikko, joining from Mercer where he spent more than a decade as a senior investment consultant, specifically looking after the Pacific region. He also has investment consulting experience in London and his native Johannesburg.
