Emerging markets-focused Renaissance Capital has named Merrill Lynch Asia’s former head of investment banking Sheldon Trainor as Chairman of its Asian operations, based in Hong Kong. He is charged with bolstering the investment bank’s strategy in the region via a focus on the natural resources sector.

Trainor will specifically target areas such as energy, metals, mining and agriculture to leverage Renaissance's investments. He most recently joins from PacBridge Capital Partners, a boutique advisory and principal investment firm that he founded in 2009 also specializing in Asia's natural resources sector. With this, Renaissance Capital and PacBridge have inked a business cooperation agreement that covers both corporate advisory and principal investment.

Trainor previously headed Merrill Lynch Asia's investment banking business, and for 11 years prior, he was at Morgan Stanley's General Industries Group.

In Asia, Renaissance Capital bureaus in Hong Kong and Beijing, and has additional operations in Russia, Eastern Europe and Africa. It maintains a focus on M&A, equity and debt capital markets, securities sales and trading, research, and derivatives.
