Tradeweb Markets announced Tuesday that it has appointed Rich Chun as Managing Director and Head of Asia, as the firm continues to expand its footprint across the region. 

Based in Hong Kong, Chun will oversee Tradeweb’s business operations, client engagement, and strategic growth initiatives throughout Asia Pacific.

Chun brings over 30 years of experience in global markets, including senior trading and portfolio management roles at HPS Investment Partners, Claren Road Asset Management, and Citigroup.

Enrico Bruni, Co-Head of Global Markets, said: “Rich Chun brings extensive industry insight to help us deepen relationships and deliver even more value to the local investment community.”

Chun joins at a time of strong performance for Tradeweb’s international business, which reported a 41% year-over-year revenue increase in the second quarter of 2025.

“I am honoured to join Tradeweb at such a dynamic time for financial services in Asia,” Chun said. “Tradeweb has earned its reputation as a trusted partner and innovator across asset classes.”

Tradeweb has offices in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo, and has played a pioneering role in opening China’s bond markets through initiatives such as Bond Connect and Swap Connect.

 In the first three quarters of 2025, total traded volume in Yen interest rate swaps and Japanese Government Bonds rose 67.3% and 24.6% year-over-year, respectively.

Troy Dixon, Co-Head of Global Markets, said Chun’s appointment reflects Tradeweb’s commitment to “investing in top talent” and scaling its regional operations.
