It’s on the bespoke side of things where Lim sees the opportunity for growth, eyeing a niche in designing bespoke responsible investing portfolios for clients beyond clunky exclusionary screens.
As chief investment officer, he will sit alongside senior members of Lonsec’s investment solutions team on a range of committees including product and investment oversight, asset allocation, manager selection and direct equities. He will also oversee a staff of 17 investment professionals.
Lim’s appointment comes four months after Lukasz de Pourbaix stepped down from the CIO role and took up a job in Fidelity International’s cross-asset team. He had been with the research house for almost 15 years.
Deanne Baker, who was appointed interim CIO on Pourbaix’s departure, will take the newly created deputy CIO role.
