Singapore’s WRISE Makes Senior Hires
The Singapore-based wealth management business bolsters its team.  Â
WRISE Wealth Management Singapore has appointed Ranjiv Raman as managing director and head of discretionary solutions, and Agnes Goh as managing director and head of family advisory and institutional wealth.
Starting immediately, Raman will be responsible for designing and providing discretionary investment solutions to clients, while Goh will lead a team servicing ultra-high net worth individuals (UHNWIs). Both will report to Kevin Teng, CEO of WRISE Wealth Management Singapore, the firm said in a statement.
Raman brings over 20 years of experience in financial markets, focusing on portfolio management across diverse asset classes, strategic partnerships, and global client relationship management, specialising in managing discretionary products. Before joining WRISE, he held several key positions at Schroders Wealth Management, BSI Bank Singapore, and Aberdeen Asset Management, Singapore, the firm continued.
Goh, with over 27 years of experience in the banking industry, has worked at Bank of Singapore, HSBC, and UBS.
Given the market volatility and rising interest rates, the global investment landscape is encountering complex challenges. WRISE said that a growing number of clients, particularly in Asia, are consequently turning to discretionary investment management as a solution for wealth management, and the appointments reflect this.
“Ranjiv and Agnes bring a wealth of experience and deep industry knowledge. Their integration into our team marks a significant step in WRISE's continued expansion," Teng added.
The latest move also follows the firm’s recent push into the Japanese market and the appointment of wealth management and investment banking senior figure Shigehiro Suzuki as market head of Japan. See more here.
