Silvercrest Asset Management Group Inc. announced its expansion into Australia, appointing Christina Manonian as Head of APAC Consultant Relations & Business Development, based in Melbourne. The move is part of the firm’s international growth strategy to increase its presence in institutional markets beyond North America.
Manonian brings more than two decades of experience from AllianceBernstein, Franklin Templeton, and Legg Mason. She will partner with Nitish Sharma, Head of International Consultant Relations and Business Development, to execute the firm’s objective of expanding its institutional business across EMEA and Asia Pacific.
The announcement also includes the launch of the Silvercrest Global Value Opportunity Fund, a wholesale vehicle for Australian clients. The fund will invest across the value spectrum—from relative value to deep value—and aims to deliver long‑term capital appreciation while outperforming the MSCI All‑Country World Index. The fund follows the successful launch of the Global Value Opportunity Equity Strategy in December 2024, which received a $1.3 billion seed investment from Australia’s Construction and Building Unions Superannuation Fund (CBUS).
Silvercrest reported assets under management of $37.6 billion as of September 30 2025, up from $35.3 billion in Q1 2025 and $36.5 billion at the end of 2024. The expansion into Australia is expected to tap a growing institutional market and build on the firm’s existing presence in Singapore and Europe.
Allen Gray, Global Head of Silvercrest’s Institutional Business, said the appointment of Manonian would strengthen the firm’s breadth of investment capabilities in the APAC region and support its broader strategy of scaling institutional business beyond North America.
