IF there is one thing about Cordlife group chief executive Jeremy Yee that sticks in one's mind, it's that he is unflinching about his priorities. For instance, his belief that when a firm is impelled by near-sighted shareholder expectations, it should always pick the high road - to growth.
For that reason, he seems to care little if Singapore-listed Cordlife's 10 per cent-owned China Cord Banking Corp (CCBC), which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, remains a dividend slouch and chooses instead to use its cash hoard to grow the business.
