Chi-Ho Song has become head of Cambridge Associates' Singapore office, and Damien Tan and Mark Oshida have recently joined the office as consultants. Mr. Song succeeds Peter Roney, who has relocated to Cambridge Associates' Arlington, VA, office to serve as the firm's Co-Director of Research. The office now has 24 employees, including 10 consultants and nine analysts.

"We're delighted to continue to enhance and augment our consulting and research capabilities in Asia for our global client base. We see tremendous promise in the region and are dedicated to maintaining a comprehensive understanding of Asian investment opportunities," said Sandra A. Urie, President and CEO of Cambridge Associates.

Cambridge Associates' Singapore office opened in 2001 and serves a growing list of endowments, foundations, government entities, pension funds and family offices located in Singapore, Hong Kong/China, and South Korea. These client portfolios range in size from approximately US$20 million to over US$100 billion. In addition to the consulting practice, the Singapore office specializes in researching Asian focused traditional long-only strategies, hedge funds, private equity and real assets. Those capabilities support Cambridge Associates' global client base in assessing investment managers active in Asia.

In 2010, Cambridge Associates' Singapore office will host the firm's seventh annual global investment workshop, where approximately 30 of the firm's clients from around the world will deepen their understanding of the regional investment landscape. Prior workshops have been held in Shanghai, Tokyo, New Delhi, Hong Kong, Prague and Buenos Aires.
