Bank of Singapore appoints first chief portfolio strategist

Owi Ruivivar’s role will boost asset allocation strategy.

The Bank of Singapore has named Owi Ruivivar as its new chief portfolio strategist which is seen to enhance the bank’s focus on cross-asset research, asset allocation and portfolio management.

“This newly created role will lead the charge in developing a systematic, robust and risk-based multi-asset allocation framework that will guide clients as they build long-term investment portfolio,” the bank said in a statement.

Ruivivar has 30 years of experience in economics, investment strategy, and portfolio management. She will be based in Singapore and will be a member of the bank’s investment committee that decides on the strategic and tactical asset allocation calls for clients. 

She reports to Bank of Singapore’s Global Chief Investment Officer Jean Chia.

Ruivivar joins from Singapore’s GIC where she led an investment-oriented thematic research at the Economics and Investment Strategy department. She also led the Future Markets investing team, which oversaw multi-asset investments across private and public markets in frontier Emerging Markets countries. 

Prior to GIC, she was with Goldman Sachs Asset Management (GSAM) for 17 years where she was a founding portfolio manager of its Lipper-awarded Emerging Market debt franchise. She also held roles at BNP Paribas and the International Monetary Fund.

“Owi comes with vast experience and deep expertise, and I believe she will become an integral part of a strong and diverse team of investment professionals further differentiating the bank’s investment franchise,” Chia said.
