Eight Wealth International (EWI), a principal partner practice of wealth management group St. James’s Place, has appointed Simon Lints as a strategic adviser based in Singapore.
Lints brings over 30 years of experience in wealth management and a strong track record in building and growing businesses in the international financial services sector across various geographies, including Asia, Europe and the Middle East.
Prior to joining EWI, Lints held senior roles in wealth management and private banking at Credit Suisse and UBS, and was most recently the CEO of Schroders Wealth Management Singapore where he looked after the Southeast Asia portfolio.
As part of Lints’ role with EWI, he will focus on driving the firm’s strategic expansion and business development in Asia amid growing demands for tailored financial advice among high-net-worth clients and family offices in the region. He will also work closely with the senior EWI management team in client advisory as well as identifying strategic opportunities for business acquisition and partnership.
Lints says: “The wealth management growth that we are seeing in the region will likely continue in the near future with the fast-growing affluent segment in major Asian markets.”
