iFast Zooms Ahead

I was on the selection committee for the SIAS Investors’ Choice Outstanding CEO Award last year. During our deliberations, Lim Chung Chun’s name was frequently mentioned, leading to his eventual win alongside notable figures like Helen Wong, CEO of OCBC.

This recognition is well-deserved, considering how Chung Chun has transformed iFast Corporation. The former head of research co-founded iFast in 2000 with the vision of creating a financial portal that offers unit trusts online to consumers at reduced sales charges. Under his leadership, iFast has evolved into a comprehensive digital wealth management platform boasting a market capitalisation of over $2 billion and $21 billion in assets under administration.
