ARA goes global, more than doubles AUM to S$80b

Singapore

ARA Asset Management, co-founded by group chief executive John Lim, has gone from strength to strength in its quest to globalise.

As at end-2018, its assets under management (AUM) at S$80.1 billion had more than doubled from S$35.6 billion at the point of privatisation in April 2017. The growth was fuelled by mergers and acquisitions and by organic expansion.
