Our Team

Michael Liang, Founder and Chief Investment Officer

Michael Liang has been Foundation’s CIO from the start. He is a leader in the Asia hedge fund space, as he founded Foundation Asset Management in 2006 when China hedge funds were still at a nascent stage. Under him, Foundation Asset Management has transformed from a start-up boutique firm into a full-fledged, leading asset management firm.
 
Michael’s differentiated industry knowledge has propelled Foundation through an array of market environments, with Foundation now one of the longest standing China hedge funds with a 15-year track record. He covered base metals in Australia during the commodities boom and was responsible for industrials during the Asia Financial Crisis and China WTO cycle. This allowed Michael to develop a unique framework of understanding cycles and inflections.
 
He is regularly invited to present at media and conferences, including CNN, Bloomberg TV, CCTV and HK’s popular financial journal Economic Digest and Ming Pao, sharing his view on the economy, markets, investment strategy and ideas.
 
Michael started his career with Macquarie Bank in Australia in 1993 as an investment analyst, then working at Societe Generale, Daiwa Securities and DBS Vickers. Prior to founding Foundation, he was a Director at United Overseas Bank. He has an MBA degree from Peking University, degree in Economics from Renmin University of China and Wollongong University in Australia. He is also a CFA.
