THE Government of Singapore Investment Corporation (GIC) has appointed top representatives in Europe and America to build networks and seek investment opportunities.
Under newly created titles, deputy president of GIC asset management Lim Chow Kiat will be president (Europe), while president of its London office Anthony Lim will become president (Americas) from today.
They will be the 'most senior representatives in their respective geographies for the whole of GIC', said the state investor in a press statement. 'They will promote contacts with policymakers and thought leaders in the financial, governmental and non-governmental circles,' GIC added.
'The appointments come at a time when critical changes will be made to the global financial system and there is a need for GIC to not only gather but also contribute deeper insights into investment opportunities and challenges in the coming years.'
Mr Lim Chow Kiat - who was also previously head of fixed income, currency and commodities at GIC - will be based in London to cover Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
He joined GIC as a portfolio manager in 1993 with an accountancy degree from Nanyang Technological University and subsequently built up GIC's investment capability in corporate bonds. He was also responsible for several cross-market efforts such as the global opportunity portfolio.
