Jin succeeds Dr Chia Tai Tee who will step down as CRO on 31 March 2020 after serving 26 years with GIC. Upon retirement, Dr Chia will serve as a GIC Advisor until 30 June 2020, to facilitate the handover to Jin, for the financial year ended 31 March 2020.

Three current Chief Investment Officers (CIO) also will be appointed to the Group Executive Committee. They are: Choo Yong Cheen, CIO for Private Equity; Liew Tzu Mi, CIO for Fixed Income, and Bryan Yeo, CIO for Public Equities. Choo, Liew and Yeo will continue to serve as CIOs for their respective asset classes while being GEC members.

As GEC members, the new appointees will have formal responsibilities to chart the future of GIC and manage issues at the enterprise level. With their appointments, the Group Executive Committee will be made up of 10 members, up from the current 7 members.

“Congratulations to Yuen Yee, Yong Cheen, Tzu Mi and Bryan who are taking up new appointments. I am fortunate to have committed leaders and look forward to working with them to further strengthen our operating and investment capabilities,” he said.
