Yangzijiang Financial Holding (YZJFH) has named a long-tenured private equity expert as an investment advisor.

Sean Low Shieng Ang, who served at Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund GIC for 17 years, was appointed as a senior advisor to YZJFH, the asset manager recently spun off from its shipbuilding parent, an announcement sent on Monday indicated.

Low will provide advice on investment portfolio construction and asset allocation. His last role at GIC was as senior vice president at GIC PE where he initially led the private equity fund investment team and subsequently headed the private credit and special opportunities group within the global investment strategy and risk team.

Currently, Low is the CEO and chief investment officer of Golden Vision Capital (Singapore), a global private equity fund anchored by a leading Asian single-family office. YZJFH invests in both public and private companies and has a debt investment business. The company acquired GEM Asset Management in April, which gave it entry into the fund and wealth management businesses and their potentially higher sources of recurring fee-based income.
