Ping An Asset Management has appointed a new General Manager. On March 19, it was confirmed that Zhang Jianying, previously Deputy General Manager of Ping An Asset Management Co., Ltd., has officially assumed the role of General Manager, with her appointment approved by the National Financial Regulatory Administration.
Industry insiders indicated that the promotion was not unexpected, either internally or externally. Zhang is described within the company as courageous, resourceful, decisive, and capable of both strategic planning and effective execution.
In April 2025, the then General Manager Luo Shuiquan stepped down due to work adjustments. The company's board subsequently designated Chairman Huang Yong to serve as the interim head, acting with the authority of the General Manager.
With this new appointment, Ping An Asset Management will now operate under the leadership duo of Chairman Huang Yong and General Manager Zhang Jianying, both of whom are long-standing veterans of the Ping An group.
Born in August 1976, Zhang Jianying holds a master's degree from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore and has over 20 years of experience in the financial industry. She previously worked at ABN AMRO Bank, Allianz Global Investors Asia, and BOC International Investment Managers. Zhang joined Ping An Asset Management in September 2006, serving successively as General Manager of the Business Development Department, General Manager of the Third-Party Asset Management Division, and Assistant General Manager. She was appointed Deputy General Manager in November 2019 and previously oversaw the fixed-income investment division.
Ping An Asset Management stated that Ms. Zhang joined the company in its early stages and has rotated through several key internal positions, making significant contributions in areas such as insurance fund investment management and the breakthrough development of the company's domestic and international asset management businesses. As a leading talent in the insurance asset management industry, she possesses extensive experience in both insurance fund investment and global asset management, and is recognized for her strategic foresight, willingness to drive change, and decisive leadership. The appointment is expected to further enhance the company's core competitiveness, strengthen its insurance fund investment capabilities, improve service quality and efficiency, and advance Ping An Asset Management's strategic goal of becoming a world-class asset management firm.
The current senior management team at Ping An Asset Management includes Chairman Huang Yong, General Manager Zhang Jianying, Deputy General Managers Sun Fang and Su Tianpeng, and Assistant General Manager, Chief Risk Officer, and Chief Compliance Officer Dong Xuyong.
Established in May 2005 with a registered capital of 15 billion yuan and headquartered in Shanghai, Ping An Asset Management was one of the first insurance asset management companies approved by the former China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission. As a key member of Ping An Group's investment division, the company manages investment assets for the group's insurance funds and provides diversified, one-stop investment management solutions for institutional clients both in China and overseas. It has grown into one of China's largest and most influential institutional investors, a leading domestic insurance asset manager, and an internationally prominent comprehensive asset management company. As of the end of June 2025, Ping An Asset Management had 5.91 trillion yuan in assets under management, ranking 33rd among the world's top 500 asset managers and 3rd in Asia.
