GIC announces senior leadership appointments, including deputy group CIOs

[SINGAPORE] Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC announced on Friday (Jul 10) a series of new senior management appointments, with changes to take effect on Oct 1.

As part of the leadership restructuring, Choo Yong Cheen and Liew Tzu Mi have been appointed as deputy group chief investment officers (DGCIOs). Both will support GIC’s group chief investment officer.

Choo will take on the DGCIO role concurrently with his current position as chief investment officer (CIO) for private equity.

In this expanded capacity, Choo will oversee GIC’s private market asset classes, including private equity, real estate and infrastructure, and the integrated strategies group, which focuses on less conventional investment opportunities.

Liew will step down from her current role as CIO for fixed income and multi asset (Fima).

She will retain her leadership role as director of the portfolio execution and solutions group and take on the added responsibility of overseeing total portfolio research and strategy.

With Liew stepping down from Fima, Liang Jiajie has been promoted to CIO for Fima.

Liang, who has been with Fima’s core leadership team for nearly a decade, will also continue in his current role as head of global macro, a position he has held since 2018.

He previously assumed the role of deputy CIO for Fima in April 2026.
