Former head of Australia & New Zealand, Elizabeth Trinh, would now become head of Hong Kong and South East Asia, a newly-created role by the firm.
Michelle Kidd was appointed as head of Australia and New Zealand institutional business while Alastair McKibbin would be head of Australian wholesale business, relocating from New York to Sydney.
Jamie Downing, global head of institutional business, said: “We have long seen the APAC region as an important market in our growth strategy and in the past few years have seen increasing interest across our boutiques, particularly in our actively managed equity and fixed income offerings.
