ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--eVestment Alliance (eVestment), a global provider of institutional investment data intelligence and analytic solutions, announces the establishment of an office in Hong Kong, China. The office is headed by Hans Jiang who serves as vice president and reports to eVestment Global Head of Sales Jerrod Stoller. It is the second location for eVestment in the Asia-Pacific region after Sydney, Australia, which opened in October of 2009.

“Asia has emerged as a critical market for buy side investors, and the need for clear institutional investment data intelligence and analytic solutions has grown exponentially in recent years,” said eVestment Principal and CEO Jim Minnick. “The growing Asian marketplace requires a strong leader with excellent product knowledge, regional market experience and the proven ability to help establish a long-term local presence. Hans has the expertise necessary to serve the sophisticated needs of investors in a diverse region including Greater China, Japan, Singapore, Korea and Southeast Asia.”

Jiang has more than 15 years of experience in the financial services industry and recently served as Associate Director of Sales covering Asian markets at Moody’s Analytics Hong Kong. Prior to that, he worked at various global financial information services providers including Bloomberg and Reuters, where he held regional sales roles.

“After releasing the eVestment Global Database and signing Towers Watson as our first global enterprise client in early 2009, eVestment’s goal has been to expand the service to other leading investment consultancies,” said Principal and COO Matt Crisp. “We hope that eVestment’s comprehensive investment manager research portal will continue to alleviate the complexity of research and due diligence worldwide, as it has for North America since 2000.”

eVestment currently partners with three of the leading investment consultants in the Asia-Pacific region including Towers Watson Australia, JANA Investment Advisers and Frontier Investment Consulting.
