Schroders Capital has announced the appointment of Sabrina Meng as Head of Business Development, Asia. In this role, she will drive fundraising in the region for the firm’s Private Debt and Credit Alternatives (PDCA) business, which will include insurance-linked securities (ILS).
Based in Hong Kong, Meng who will join the firm on March 2, 2026, will report to Ingo Heinen, Global Head of Schroders Capital Business Development.
As well as this, she will also join the Schroders Capital Asia Client Group Executive Committee.
As Head of Business Development, Asia, Meng will lead business development and sales efforts across the region, which will include leading and continuing the build-out of Schroders Capital’s specialist sales team in the region.
She will also be expected to help deepen and expand client relationships to help further establish Schroders Capital’s presence as a trusted, specialist private markets partner for both institutional investors and intermediary partners in Asia.
As mentioned, a key part of Meng’s new role will involve driving Asia fundraising for Schroders Capital’s PDCA business, which has $41.6 billion in assets under management as of December 31, 2025, focusing on specialisms including securitised and asset-based finance, real estate debt, infrastructure debt and insurance-linked securities (ILS).
This means that Meng will work in collaboration with the ILS team that sits within Schroders Capital, which is the private assets unit of Schroders, and one of the longest-standing and largest insurance-linked securities investment managers that exist within the space.
The Schroders Capital ILS team manages over $6.5 billion in ILS assets for its third-party investor clients, operating one of the largest catastrophe bond fund strategies in the world, as well as private ILS strategies which are focused more on collateralized reinsurance investments.
Overall, Meng brings 17 years of experience in consulting, investment and fundraising across private markets towards her new role, along with deep expertise in private and structured credit, private equity and real assets.
Meng joins Schroders Capital following eight years of service at Oaktree Capital, where she played a crucial role in building the firm’s Asia franchise, which includes overseeing fundraising across Greater China and Southeast Asia, as well as driving growth and scaling the firm’s intermediary business.
Previously Meng also worked at Monument Group, Emerald Hill Capital Partners, and Bain & Company.
Schroders Capital noted that Meng’s appointment marks the latest in a series of strategic hires that the firm has made across various regions and asset classes, as the organisation continues to build out its team of private markets sales specialists globally.
Ingo Heinen, Global Head of Business Development at Schroders Capital, commented: “This is an exciting hire that brings proven expertise and fundraising success to Schroders Capital, adding to the depth and breadth across our specialist business development team.”
Heinen continued: “Asia is an important, strategic region and Sabrina’s experience, combined with our deep bench of client relationship experience across Schroders Group and the specialist capabilities within Schroders Capital, will help us continue to unlock opportunities to drive accelerated growth.”
Gopi Mirchandani, Head of Client Group, Asia, said: “Sabrina’s experience in private debt and credit alternatives complements our focus in Asia as we continue to respond to growing client demand for enhanced income opportunities across the full credit spectrum.”
