Standard Chartered will look to expand its funds and discretionary portfolio management business with the hire of an industry veteran in Singapore.

Chandrima Das joins the bank as its global head of management investments, according to a statement, reporting to global head of wealth management Marc van de Walle.

Das has over 20 years of banking and asset management experience across Asia and Europe. Previously, she held various senior roles with Bank of Singapore, ING, Prudential and, most recently, Grab where she was its head of wealth management. She is also the co-founder of the digital investment advisor platform Bento.

Das brings a unique combination of experience in asset management and wealth tech which is especially pertinent today as we seek to meet increasingly sophisticated demand for wealth management advice at scale,» commented van de Walle on the hire which is subject to regulatory approval.
