Singapore law firm Tan Peng Chin has elevated director Susan Tang to the position of head of retail funds, just two years after her original appointment at the firm.

Heading the funds practice within the asset and wealth management department, Tang will be the main port of call for local and offshore fund managers who have legal or regulatory queries on the offer of retail fund products in Singapore.

Melvin Khoo, head of the asset and wealth management department, said Tang's appointment comes as the market is maturing to allow retail investors access to products that were previously sold exclusively to high-net-worth investors.

Susan is the most senior lawyer in this area of practice who has in-house experience with a fund management company. "Since returning to practice, she has supplemented her retail funds expertise with private and alternative investments funds."
