Piper Jaffray Asia has enhanced its research capabilities with the appointments of Phoebe Wong and Eric Lau as senior research analysts.

The China and Hong Kong consumer research group becomes Wong’s responsibility, with Lau leading the firm’s industrial growth.

Wong was formerly a senior research analyst with Lehman Brothers, and brings 14 years of experience on securities to the role.

She has also served as a senior analyst with Nomura, and has been picked out by both the Starmine survey and AsiaMoney for her professional excellence.

Lau leaves behind Deutsche Bank, where he worked as head of China and Hong Kong industrial research, to join Piper Jaffray.

He has also worked in researching roles for DBS Vickers Ltd and UOB Kay Hian Ltd.
