US-based asset management firm American Century Investments has bolstered its new Hong Kong office with the appointments of Betty Ng and Miranda Poon to the team.

Ms Poon was previously the vice president of business development at Pictet's Asia ex Japan unit. In her new role as director of business development for the Asian sales team, she will be focusing on the Greater China region, which covers China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.

Ms Ng, who comes from Morgan Stanley, will be assuming a sales support and client service role.

The newly established Asian enterprise is expected to help American Century Investments market its equity growth strategies to clients in the Asia Pacific. The company currently has $80 billion in assets under management.
