10 Oct 2023

From Stewart Investors

Stewart Investors announced the appointment of Ms Elizabeth Trinh to the role of head of institutional distribution, Asia Pacific (APAC), effective from 11 September 2023.

Building on Stewart Investors long-established presence in Sydney and Singapore, and in recognition of the growing institutional demand for quality and sustainability focused investment solutions in the region, Ms Trinh is responsible for driving the APAC institutional client strategy for the business.

Ms Trinh joins from American Century Investment Management (ACIM), where she spent nearly 14 years in a number of leadership roles across APAC, building out the firm’s presence in the region. Most recently, Ms Trinh was head of American Century investment management (Asia Pacific) Limited where she oversaw the business management of the Hong Kong office and growth in the region, across institutional and wholesale channels. In this capacity, she also headed up APAC asset consultant relationships which resulted in multiple successful buy ratings across a number of investment capabilities.

In addition, Ms Trinh led a multitude of environmental, social and governance initiatives and she was a founding member of the diversity, equity and inclusion committee in ACIM. Prior to AICM, she worked for Macquarie Bank and the Commonwealth Bank of Australia.

Ms Trinh reports to Mr Hugh O’Neill, business head of Stewart Investors in Singapore. She is currently based in Hong Kong and will relocate to Singapore in 2024.

Mr O’Neill said of the appointment: “We are thrilled to welcome Ms Trinh to our fast-growing team in Asia Pacific. Ms Trinh’s proven leadership capabilities, coupled with her two decades of regional and institutional client experience and expertise is an incredible asset to our business.

“The increasing demand we are seeing from institutional investors in the region for quality, sustainability focussed investment strategies coupled with Ms Trinh’s in-depth knowledge and solid track record means this is an incredibly exciting time for us,” concluded Mr O’Neill.
