IG Group Holdings has appointed Gavin Chia as CEO of IG Singapore and Emerging Markets, September 1 2025, subject to regulatory approval.
The appointment comes as IG looks to expand its product offering across Asia.
Chia was previously CEO and a founding employee of Moomoo Singapore, where he developed the platform into one of the country’s leading brokerages within four years.
He has held senior positions at UOB Kay Hian, Haitong International and PhilipCapital, and is recognised for his experience in scaling businesses and working with regulators, exchanges and industry partners.
“Singapore is a hub for increasingly sophisticated investors, and IG is well placed to serve mobile-first clients looking for greater choice and deeper market access,”
said Chia.
“Beyond Singapore, emerging markets present a tremendous opportunity as more individuals gain access to financial markets for the first time.
“There is a growing appetite for a wider range of investment options, and rapidly developing technologies such as AI and smarter trading tools will allow us to serve these markets more effectively. I am excited to join IG at this pivotal moment to build on its strong foundations and deliver its next phase of growth.”
Chia holds a Master of Science in Business Analytics from the National University of Singapore and a Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) in Aeronautical Engineering with a Minor in Business from Nanyang Technological University.
