RAFFLES Family Office (RFO), a multi-family office and independent asset manager, has appointed William Chow as its first deputy group chief executive officer (CEO).

The deputy CEO position is a newly created role as the company expands its C-suite team to "sustain growth trajectory and explore new service offerings", RFO said in a press statement on Feb 9 (Wednesday).

RFO was founded in Hong Kong in 2016. It opened its Singapore office in 2019 and also has a presence in Shanghai, Beijing and Taipei.

Chow is currently based at RFO's headquarters in Hong Kong. He has also been appointed to RFO's board of management and investment committee, where his "wide-ranging" experience will be key to informing the company's future development and service expansion plans, said RFO.

Chow joins RFO from China Life Franklin Asset Management, where he was deputy CEO and helped oversee the company's US$35 billion in assets under management.

Prior to this, he was a group managing director at Value Partners Group, one of Asia's largest asset managers. He previously held senior roles at UBS, BlackRock and State Street Global Advisors.
