Next chief of Sias being prepped for role

[SINGAPORE] David Gerald, the president and CEO of the minority investors' lobby group that is the Securities Investors Association of Singapore (Sias), says he does not intend to let go of the reins for another three to five years.

But, in line with good corporate-governance practice, the 70-year-old has started planning and paving the way for a successor.

"Retail investors need not fear. There will always be a successor. There are currently at least three committee members who can take my position, should anything happen to me."
