Kelvin Goh, Head of Financial Institutions Group, Asia Pacific, and Alfons Halim, Head of Asia Pacific Real Estate at JPMorgan, have been appointed as Co-Heads of Southeast Asia Investment Banking while retaining their current roles.
Goh currently serves as Head of the Financial Institutions Group for Asia Pacific, where he has played a key role in advising financial institutions on strategic transactions, capital raising and mergers and acquisitions across the region.
Halim, meanwhile, is Head of Asia Pacific Real Estate within JPMorgan’s corporate division and has extensive experience in advising clients on real estate, infrastructure and corporate finance transactions.
Despite their expanded regional responsibilities, both executives will retain their current leadership roles while jointly driving the strategic direction and growth of JPMorgan’s Southeast Asia investment banking franchise.
The appointments underscore JPMorgan’s continued commitment to strengthening its presence in Southeast Asia, a region that continues to present significant opportunities for mergers and acquisitions, capital markets activity and corporate advisory services.
By basing both co-heads in Singapore, the bank further reinforces the city-state’s position as a key regional financial hub and an important centre for cross-border corporate finance and investment banking activities. The move is also expected to enhance JPMorgan’s ability to better serve clients across Southeast Asia by leveraging the combined expertise of both leaders in executing complex financial transactions and supporting the region’s evolving business landscape.
