Lighthouse Canton, a global investment institution with over $5b in assets under management, has appointed Angela Saik as Managing Director, Wealth Management in Singapore. This strategic move aims to bolster the company’s presence across Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Brunei. Saik brings over two decades of experience in advising high-net-worth clients, having previously held senior roles at Royal Bank of Canada, Pictet Wealth Management, and DBS Private Bank.
Saik’s appointment comes as Lighthouse Canton seeks to capitalise on Southeast Asia’s projected economic growth of 4.3% in 2026, outpacing the global average of 3.1%, according to the International Monetary Fund. The region’s burgeoning private wealth presents a significant opportunity for the firm, which aims to double its assets under management to $10b by 2027. Saik will focus on building new client relationships and expanding her team to meet the rising demand for independent wealth solutions.
Commenting on her new role, Saik said, “Southeast Asia is at the start of one of the most significant intergenerational wealth transitions the region has seen. The conversations are no longer only about what to invest in. They are about succession, cross-border structuring, how wealth holds together across generations, and what it should ultimately stand for.”
Shilpi Chowdhary, Group CEO of Lighthouse Canton, welcomed Saik, noting her extensive advisory experience and linguistic skills, which include fluency in English, Mandarin, Bahasa Melayu, Cantonese, and Hokkien. This appointment is part of Lighthouse Canton’s broader global expansion strategy, which recently included a $40m funding round and several senior hires across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.
