State Street has appointed Aisling Keane as head of alternative investment solutions for the Asia-Pacific region.
Based in Hong Kong, Keane takes responsibility for the company's hedge fund, private equity and real estate servicing business in the region. She replaces Bob Keogh, who has returned to Dublin to manage State Street's alternative investment solutions in Europe, Middle East and Africa.
Keane is returning to State Street after three years spent at BNP Paribas Securities Services and Credit Suisse. She had formerly worked at State Street for 16 years in both Dublin and Hong Kong.
"Asia-Pacific has been one of the most significant growth areas for our alternative servicing business," said Paul Fleming, global head of hedge funds for the alternative investment solutions division.
State Street boasts $28 trillion in assets under custody and says it operates in more than 100 geographic markets around the world.
