John Holland; Director
John Holland commenced his career in 1985 at SG Warburg & Co (now UBS AG) as an Asian equities specialist, where he led UBS' early expansion into Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and India, before rising to become Global Head of Asian Equities at UBS. During Mr. Holland's tenure as Global Head of Asian Equities, UBS achieved the #1 ranking for primary Asian equities distribution and held #1 non-local market share positions in all key Asian equity markets, including Hong Kong, Korea, and Taiwan. John was also instrumental in UBS' successful drive to become the first foreign investor into and foreign distributor of China A-shares. Most recently, John served as Joint Head of European Prime Broking and was a member of UBS Investment Bank's Board.
In addition to his notable achievements at UBS, John has had substantial regulatory experience, including as a member of the European Securities Markets Expert Group advising the European Commission where he was Rapporteur (Chair) for the Subcommittees on Non-Equities Market Transparency and Credit Rating Agencies. John has also worked closely over many years with the central banks and regulatory authorities of many Asian countries, such as Korea, Taiwan, India and China, particularly in relation to the opening of their markets to direct foreign investment.
John holds a BA with honours from Oriel College Oxford University, majoring in Philosophy, Politics & Economics.
