Casey, Quirk & Associates, the management consulting firm to the global fund management industry, reckons it cannot afford not to have a permanent on-the-ground presence in Asia-Pacific: it has opened a Hong Kong office, its first in the region.

Daniel Celeghin, a partner at Casey Quirk, heads the firm’s new Hong Kong office and Casey Quirk’s client work in the Asia Pacific region. The office is located at 19 Des Voeux Road, Central, Hong Kong.

Asia Pacific investors, in total, will represent nearly a quarter of the new revenue opportunities in the global asset management industry over the next five years, Celeghin said in a statement explaining the move. That total includes both institutional and retail markets, and fee revenue from net new inflows and turnover of existing mandates, he said.

Casey Quirk now has offices in Darien, Connecticut, Hong Kong, and New York.
