John Fraser, CEO, UBS Global Asset Management

John Fraser doesn't often have two hours to spare for a meeting at his London office. The jovial Australian CEO of UBS Global Asset Management (UBSGAM) currently spends 60% to 70% of his time travelling.

Fraser became the global head of UBS’s investment arm in January 2002, taking over from Peter Wuffli, who moved up to be president of UBS Group. Fraser had been CEO of Asia-Pacific for the funds arm and was marked out for higher things when he was appointed president and COO.

From there, Fraser says the move up to global head wasn’t too big a step. “I was deputy CEO when I was in Asia-Pac,” he explains.
