Outsourced CIO Firm Names Singapore-Based Managing Director

Emmanuel Pitsilis will serve as co-head for the Asia-Pacific region. The outsourced CIO business model is an important one, tapping into clients such as single family offices, for example, who prefer to farm out this function as it is too laborious to perform in-house.
