DBS Private Bank Names Fund Selection Head

DBS Private Bank has appointed a successor to Piere DeGagne, the former head of fund selection and advisory who is leaving the bank.

John Ng was appointed as DBS Private bank’s new head of fund selection and advisory last month to replace DeGagne, who is returning to Canada this month for personal and family reasons, according to a report from Fund Selector Asia, after seven years with the bank.

Ng joined the bank in 2017 as its head of portfolio counseling and product strategy, then a newly created role focused on providing strategic portfolio advice and building model portfolios to cater to different market segments.

Prior to joining DBS, Ng was with Bank of Singapore for eight years where he was responsible for the cash equity, bond, fund, and private equity research teams alongside product marketing.
