"We are excited to be expanding our presence in Asia Pacific, and we look forward to deepening our relationships with clients in the region," said Lily Chang, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer at Advent. "Having a presence in China is part of our growth strategy and is a must for a global company like Advent. The fast-growing China market is rapidly embracing new technology and we see enormous long-term potential in the Chinese market for our broad and innovative portfolio of investment solutions. As an industry leader with a proven history of success, Advent is well-prepared to support this growth."
Although this is the Company's first office in mainland China, Advent established a full-time presence in Asia Pacific last year with the opening of its Hong Kong office, and the Company currently has more than 30 clients in the region.
