The multi-family office and investment manager's new strategic advisor brings significant expertise from the wealth management industry in Asia and has a strong track record in building and growing businesses in this sector.

Raffles Family Office has announced the addition of Simon Lints as strategic advisor, a newly created role based in Singapore.

Reporting to founder and CEO Chiman Kwan, Lints is responsible for driving the firm’s strategic expansion and business development in Asia, and Southeast Asia in particular.

Lints was previously CEO of Schroders Wealth Management in Singapore, where he was instrumental in orchestrating the company’s acquisition of an external asset manager. He also served key roles at Credit Suisse and other international financial institutions.

Growth Strategy

In a statement, CEO Kwan said Lints' appointment is an «integral part of [the firm's] robust growth strategy, and underscores our commitment to accelerate the firm’s expansion in Asia, which will be supported by the best talents in the industry.»

Last week, Raffles announced another senior hire: Marvin Koh, formerly senior director at DBS Private Bank, as managing director for relationship management.
