Financial services company Singlife with Aviva announced that it has appointed Dr. Allen Kuo as its Group Deputy Chief Investment Officer.

He will strengthen specialist skills within the Investment Office as well as provide leadership and guidance as Singlife bolsters its asset management capabilities.

Based in Singapore, Allen will also oversee the implementation of Singlife’s sustainable investment strategy.

Allen brings with him over two decades of investment and risk management experience across multiple asset classes — specialising in quantitative finance and investment risk – accumulated from senior stints during his time in the US, China and Hong Kong.

Prior to joining Singlife, Allen was the Director and Deputy Chief Risk Officer of University of California’s Regents Chief Investment Office, the pension and endowment arm of the institution.
