Global private equity investment firm Advent International, which manages over $100bn in assets across 16 offices worldwide, is strengthening its Hong Kong presence, positioning the city as a key regional hub to better serve Asia Pacific clients.
The move highlights Advent’s long-term commitment to the region, building on over three decades of investment activity in Greater China and across Asia.
The firm has been active in Greater China since 1993, investing more than $1.8bn locally, and over $7.8bn across Asia Pacific through its flagship and follow-on funds. Advent’s Greater China team, led by Andrew Li, Managing Director and Head of Greater China, will continue to manage on-the-ground investments, ensuring continuity of its local operations.
The Hong Kong hub will also house the expanded Asia Pacific Investor Relations team, led by Xiaoni Shi, Managing Director and Head of Investor Relations, who will oversee regional fundraising and investor engagement.
Advent operates nearly 40 investment professionals across Asia Pacific, with offices in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Mumbai, Tokyo, and Sydney. Its Tokyo office opened in January 2026, complementing its Hong Kong and Sydney hubs to further strengthen regional capabilities.
Founded in 1984, Advent focuses on five sectors – business & financial services, consumer, healthcare, industrial, and technology – bringing operational expertise to support portfolio growth and transformation.
