management firms, focusing on portfolio management and deal making
in listed securities, private equity and venture
capital.
As part of these Board changes, Kiran Kumar,
the previous Chief Operating Officer of the Company, has with
immediate effect stood down from his position as an Executive
Director of the Company, to focus on the business development and
promotion of the Group's Business Process Outsourcing
division.

Commenting on
the Board Changes, Kin Lai, CEO of AMIF, said:
"I am pleased
to announce today the appointment of Robin to our Board. He
joined us as our COO earlier this year and has been an excellent
appointment and we have already started to see the benefits of his
deep knowledge and experience of the fund administration sector in
which we operate. We believe that Robin is extremely well
placed to support AMIF in its next phase of growth and we look
forward to his continued insight and counsel.
"The Board
also joins me in thanking Kiran for his considerable input since
the Group joined the London Stock Exchange in June 2023. We are
excited that his new role will focus on our high growth BPO
division, in which we anticipate increased market share going
forward reinforcing our position as a leader in the BPO
sector."
