MSCI Inc. has appointed Lim Beng Eu to the newly created position of head of South Asia client coverage as the US-based index provider looks to boost its operations in the region and increase client coverage.
He is based in Singapore and reports to Jack Lin, MSCI’s head of Asia Pacific client coverage.
Mr. Lim will be responsible specifically for strengthening the index provider’s presence in Southeast Asia and India, MSCI says in a statement on March 7, adding that the appointment is also part of the company’s strategy to step up coverage of leading asset owners and other clients in the region.
MSCI says Mr. Lim brings with him extensive regional investment and client expertise across equities, fixed income, multi-asset, hedge funds, real estate, derivatives, and structured products.
He joined MSCI from Bento Invest, a B2B robo-adviser and digital wealth technology provider, where he was the head of institutional client engagement. He has also worked at State Street Bank and Trust in Singapore, where he managed the Asia asset owner and insurance sector sales, and has held senior positions at global financial institutions, including Aviva Investors and HSBC.
“As Asia’s dynamic economies continue to lead global growth, MSCI is committed to helping the region unleash its full investment potential and powering the Asian investment community with better, more informed investment decisions,” Mr. Lin says in the statement.
