The Greater China-focused asset manager has promoted a veteran China investor and private equity executive as part of its market-driven reorientation.

Adamas Asset Management has appointed Brock Silvers as its chief investment officer with immediate effect, the Hong Kong-based firm announced this week.

Silvers joined Adamas Asset Management in Hong Kong as a managing director in 2019, and was in charge of global marketing and investor relations.

He was previously managing director of Shanghai-based Kaiyuan Capital and managed Asia-listed equity and China private equity funds in Hong Kong and Beijing. He was also CEO of Shanghai-based hospitality firm Laris Group.

New Market Opportunities

«AAM continues to see significant new market opportunities in light of Asian credit markets being buffeted by larger societal and macroeconomic events,» the firm said in the statement. 

The firm cited direct lending to growth companies and distressed debt in Greater China as areas that offer great potential returns for investors. Founded in 2009, Adamas now has a team of over 20 professionals across multiple offices.
