HONG KONG, March 10 (Reuters) - UBS AG (UBSN.VX) has appointed top China banker Henry Cai as its Asia investment banking chairman, a memo seen by Reuters said on Tuesday, in a move meant to give him a greater role in managing the business across Asia.

Cai's previous title was vice chairman, Asia and chairman and head of China, investment banking.

UBS also appointed two Hong Kong-based mergers and acquisitions bankers, David Chin and Matthew Hanning, as joint heads of Asia investment banking.

Hanning's previous title was head of mergers and acquisitions and corporate finance for the Asia Pacific. Chin is a financial institutions group banker, who was involved in $7.6 billion worth of deals last year, according to the memo.
