Phua Zhenghao, Group Head of Investments, with over 15 years of investment experience in leading multi-asset portfolios in global institutions, consistently delivering tactical outperformance.

Together, the team brings institutional-grade discipline and regional insight to every allocation. It will leverage the research depth of CGS International’s award-winning research teams in Asia and deep regional presence and connectivity to provide an end-to-end perspective few other firms can provide. James said, "CGS International is expanding our regional investment capabilities to give our clients access to rising opportunities in both public and private spaces in Asia.
