Plaid Cymru s Elin Jones will seek re-election as the Senedd s Llywydd, the presiding officer.
Several Labour members are hoping to stand for the deputy presiding officer role, which is also said to be of interest to Tory Montgomeryshire member of the Senedd (MS) Russell George.
The votes take place on Wednesday at the first post-election Senedd meeting.
With exactly 30 of the 60 Senedd seats, Welsh Labour Senedd members are also expected to re-elect leader Mark Drakeford as first minister.
The Conservatives, who came second in the election by winning 16 seats, have said they will not nominate their Senedd leader Andrew RT Davies for the post.
In his new role, Huynh will report to Chris Miles, head of financial intermediaries, UK.
Miles said: Over the last few years, we have been focused on steadily broadening our range of investment services in the UK to meet growing client demand. With his expertise in the UK market, Tri will be instrumental in ensuring that Capital Group s investment capabilities are readily accessible to UK intermediaries and their clients. We are delighted to welcome Tri on board.
Huynh added: This is a very exciting time for the firm, and I look forward to supporting financial intermediaries in helping their clients achieve their investment goals.

New Sleaford Town Crier John Griffiths. EMN-201224-123555001
John Griffiths is inviting people to back the Loyal Company of Town Criers (LCTC) as it works to raise money for Shout.
“Set up by The Royal Foundation, help and advice is available 24/7 but they need extra funds to recruit more volunteers,” Mr Griffiths said.
The LCTC has set up a page on Facebook for supporters to make donations to the cause.
It comes as part of its plans to hold a virtual alternative to its annual town crier competition as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
Town criers are being asked to make donations to enter, with all proceeds going to Shout.
