Fidelity Asia Pacific International president Brett Goodin is relocating to Sydney.
The move was announced only a week after the group's Australian operation made public the resignation of its managing director Michael Ohlsson.
However, according to Fidelity Australia director of business services Peter Smyth, Goodin's role will remain unchanged and the group is still seeking to appoint a replacement for Ohlsson, who announced he would remain in his job until October.
Goodin joined Fidelity in 1994 as chief legal officer and corporate secretary for its international group of companies based in Bermuda.
In 1997, he relocated to Hong Kong to serve as managing director for the Asia Pacific region. He has since been based in Tokyo.
Goodin previously worked for Credit Suisse First Boston in London.
Ohlsson, who joined Fidelity in July 2004, will remain in his position until October.
