Silvercrest Asset Management Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SAMG) is pleased to announce its expansion into the Australian market with the appointment of Christina Manonian as Head of APAC Consultant Relations & Business Development, based in Melbourne, and the launch of the Silvercrest Global Value Opportunity Fund for wholesale clients.

This marks the latest step in Silvercrest’s international growth strategy, building on its presence in Singapore and team members in Europe.

Ms. Manonian joins from AllianceBernstein where she was responsible for consultant and key client relationships across the Asia Pacific region. With over two decades of experience, Christina has longstanding relationships with institutional clients and consultants, wealth managers, and research houses. Christina previously held a variety of roles at Franklin Templeton and Legg Mason in both Australia and the United States.

The Silvercrest Global Value Opportunity Fund invests across the value spectrum—from relative value to deep value—seeking long-term capital appreciation and outperformance of its benchmark, the MSCI All Country World Index.

Allen Gray, Global Head of Silvercrest’s Institutional Business, said, “We are delighted to have someone with the depth and experience of Christina as we work to deliver Silvercrest’s breadth of investment capabilities to the APAC region. Christina will partner with Nitish Sharma, Head of International Consultant Relations and Business Development, to execute the firm’s objective to increase its presence in institutional markets beyond North America.”
