JPMorgan Asset Management has promoted its recently appointed head of investment stewardship for Europe, the Middle East and Africa to a newly created global role.

Yo Takatsuki, who joined JPMorgan Asset Management in February, will continue to lead the firm's stewardship efforts in Emea. However, his remit will be extended to include North America and Asia Pacific. He will oversee the global co-ordination of JPMorgan Asset Management's regional investment stewardship activities.
