How long have you worked in fund selection, and what do you enjoy most about the role?
12 years in direct fund selection as part of Investment Products onboarding team. Overall 20 years in Relationship Management and Investment Advisory in previous roles.
Are there any product gaps in your current offering that you are looking to address in 2026? Why are you looking to add exposure to these investment sectors?
In 2026, we look to continue allocations towards commodities and real estate especially in the purpose built commercial projects such as data centre and surrounding infrastructure.
We also look to add more to the AI driven enterprise software space as we believe that while 2025 was the year of GPUs and chips, the next AI wave will come in the form of actual implementation such as GPTs and enterprise software used to enhance productivity.
Outside of work, what are your favourite activities or interests?
Travel is my most favourite activity outside of work. Each year, I prefer to travel to a new destination. After covering North America, Western Europe, Africa and Asia; my next destination is Oceania in 2026.
With each travel, the list keeps increasing. One thing is for certain, one lifetime is not enough.
