Gong Jie moves from New York to Hong Kong to focus on funds of private-equity funds and establish the first regional presence for the firm’s Alternative Investment Partners division.

Morgan Stanley Alternative Investment Partners has transferred Gong Jie from the United States to Hong Kong to open an office in Asia.

AIP, formed in 2000 in Philadelphia, is the fund-of-funds division of Morgan Stanley Investment Management. It has three businesses: private-equity funds, hedge funds and real-estate funds. Gong will cover the Asian business for funds of private-equity funds. Asian investments in the other two asset classes will continue to be handled from America.
