A former chief executive of a Singapore-based family office has joined Jones Lang LaSalle’s capital markets unit to cover wealthy clients in the region.
JLL has appointed Kian-Jin Khoo to the newly created role of head of private wealth, capital markets, APAC, according to a statement issued Monday.
Based in Singapore, Khoo will report to APAC head of capital strategies Tim Graham and is to be responsible for leading JLL’s capital markets advisory for high net worth and family office clients.
Khoo has around 17 years of experience, most recently at a single-family office in Singapore where he spent more than four years as its CEO and chief investment officer. Previously, he worked at UBS’ wealth arm for 12 years as a private banker.
«Private wealth will undoubtedly play a more visible role in global real estate,» said Graham. «High net worth capital originating from Asia Pacific is forming an increasingly greater component of active global capital.»
