American Century Investments (ACI) has hired Elizabeth Trinh as vice president of its Hong Kong office.
Trinh will focus on the Australian and South Asian institutional markets.
The firm launched its offshore business in the Asia Pacific region in May 2009.
In September 2009 the firm boosted its staff, hiring Miranda Poon and Betty Ng to the Asian institutional advisory group.
"ACI is building a solid platform for future growth outside the United States. While ACI has no current clients in Australia, this is a very important market for ACI, underlined by Elizabeth's appointment," ACI business head of Asia Pacific Tony Archer said.
