Monument Group, an independent alternative investment fund placement agent, has hired three professionals to join Managing Director Niklas K Amundsson (pictured) in the firm’s Hong Kong office.
The new additions to the Monument team are Albert Jun, Director, Sabrina Meng, Senior Associate and Kris Ho, Operations Manager.
The Hong Kong team will be based at Monument Group’s new permanent offices in Two Exchange Square, the hub of the local private equity community.
Amundsson joined Monument Group in January 2015 as a Managing Director to help the firm expand its Asia footprint. Before joining Monument Group, Niklas spent over seven years at MVision, most recently as a Partner in the Hong Kong office.
“Niklas has extensive fund placement experience and market knowledge that will assist Monument Group’s successful expansion into Asia through enhanced dialogue with the investor and General Partner communities,” says Bob Mast, Managing Director.
Jun joined as a Director with marketing responsibility focused on Korean and other Asian investors. He was most recently Vice President and Team Leader of the Fund Placement Division for NH Investment & Securities (f.k.a. Woori Investment & Securities) in Korea.
Meng joined as a Senior Associate within Monument Group’s analytics team. She comes to the firm from Emerald Hill Capital Partners, where she had worked since 2011.
As Operations Manager, Ho will have a variety of client service and office management responsibilities. She joins Monument Group from MVision, where she held a similar position since 2010.
“Our team expansion will allow us to introduce our clients to a broader group of Asia-based investors, as well as create access for investors worldwide to many high quality Asia-based funds,” says Amundsson. “The Asian investor market is growing at a healthy pace and many investors are becoming more global in their investment considerations, so we need local and deep relationships to capitalize on both of these opportunities.”
