Chief Investment Officer

Also known as: CIO

Definition: A Chief Investment Officer (CIO) is the senior leader responsible for investment strategy and portfolio decisions at a family office, asset manager, or wealth platform.

CIOs at Singapore family offices typically lead the investment-professional team required under 13O (minimum two) or 13U (minimum three including a non-family member). The role combines asset-allocation strategy, manager selection, direct-investment evaluation, and risk oversight. Senior SG family-office CIOs command S$500k–S$1.5M+ in compensation.
