State Street has enticed Aisling Keane to return to the bank as head of alternative investment solutions for the Asia Pacific.
Keane, who will work out of Hong Kong, will lead the hedge fund, private equity and real estate servicing business for the region.
She replaces Bob Keogh, who recently returned to Dublin to lead State Street’s alternative investment solutions activity in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Keane worked at State Street for 16 years in Dublin and Hong Kong in a number of roles, including head of international fund services for the Asia Pacific.
After her 16-year stint at State Street, Keane most recently served in senior management positions at BNP Paribas Securities Services and Credit Suisse.
Paul Fleming, executive vice president and global head of hedge funds for alternative investment solutions, said: “The Asia Pacific has been one of the most significant growth areas for our alternative servicing business. With Aisling Keane’s extensive industry expertise, we will continue to deliver innovative solutions and unparalleled service to alternatives managers who need real-time processing solutions.”
Ian Martin, head of State Street’s global services and global exchange business for the Asia Pacific, said: “We see the long-term institutional appetite for alternatives assets continuing, as institutional investors seek to improve risk-adjusted returns in today’s low growth environment."
