Company Profile

Two British financial advisors founded Austen Morris Associates to meet an increasing need in the financial services industry. The goal was simple: to provide international clients with a complete spectrum of wealth management and financial planning options and supply independent advice, emphasising continual guidance and support.

Headquartered in China, South Africa, and the Philippines, we operate throughout Asia and Africa to meet our specialised services and strong knowledge of financial opportunities for our global investors. Our ability to seek out innovations and opportunities globally and quickly implement them has made Austen Morris Associates the most reputable financial services company in China and a leader worldwide. With over a hundred staff members supporting the Asia Pacific region and a growing team in South Africa and the Philippines, we cater to thousands of clients on six continents worldwide.

Our Journey

Trust was a core value from the early days of business, resulting in the long-term relationships that have become the foundation of Austen Morris Associates today. Greg Morris and co-founder Austen Hempstead founded Austen Morris Associates in Dubai in 1994. By 1999 China was ready for professional services, and Greg moved the team to open its first mainland office operating with a WFOE in 2003.

By 2008 there were offices in Beijing, Suzhou, Pudong, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia. We became one of the most service-oriented Financial Service Companies in Asia, with thousands of clients investing from over 50 countries worldwide. In July 2013, Greg and Managing Senior Partner James Colclough opened the first office in South Africa, and in 2021, AMA North America, AMA Europe, AMA International and AMA Mauritius were established.​
