Singapore robo adviser Endowus has hired Hugh Chung for a newly-created role as chief investment advisory officer.
Based in Singapore, he will work closely with Chairman and Chief Investment Officer Samuel Rhee to provide strategic direction on the curation and management of all investment solutions across public and private markets, Endowus says in a statement on March 14.
He will also work closely with Sean Wong, head of investments, Min Axthelm, director of investment research, and the 14-member group investment office based in Singapore and Hong Kong.
According to Rhee, Chung’s “extensive experience in client advisory and managing and investing client assets across the full spectrum of asset classes makes him an ideal candidate to offer leadership and greater expertise to the central investment office of the Endowus Group”.
Chung joins the company from GreatDay HR, a Singapore human resources software firm where he was chief executive officer. Before that, he was investment director for Mornington Services, a Singapore-based family office.
He has also held senior roles at several asset management firms, including J.P. Morgan Asset Management.
Endowus has over S$5 billion (US$3.71 billion) of assets under management currently.
