Singapore-headquartered senior banker Kerry Goh, who holds the titles of chief investment officer and chief executive, according to his Linkedin profile. At Julius
Baer, he was head of portfolio management for Asia from May 2010 to February 2017. Before that, Goh was a senior portfolio manager at UBS.

The creation of such a business is part of a trend of bankers breaking away to create independent investment businesses along different lines. For example, EightStone, a private investment office, made a senior hire recently. This publication has carried out a regional analysis of the external asset management sector (see here).
