BMO Global Asset Management, part of Bank of Montreal, has appointed Amit Prakash as head of wealth management products for Asia. He is based in Hong Kong.

In his new role, Prakash will cover the investment product development and marketing needs of all BMO entities and businesses - as well as BMO's strategic partners - in Asia.

Previously, Prakash worked with two of the largest asset management firms globally, BMO said, but it did not give the names of these businesses. He has previously worked in Singapore; prior to that, he was based in San Francisco, Toronto and London for nearly 15 years, where he held senior positions as a currency trader and portfolio manager, global macro hedge fund manager and leader of a team of hedge fund managers.
