About

Founder of peer-to-peer networking group The Asian Hedge Fund Legal and Regulatory Group, Kher Sheng Lee is the first general counsel of Azentus Capital. An SFC-regulated, multi-strategy, global investment manager, Azentus was behind the launch of what – at $2bn – was one of the largest day-one hedge fund launches following the 2008 crisis. As sole legal counsel in a lean, dynamic organisation of this kind, Lee was responsible for designing the business’s entire compliance framework. The free-standing nature of his role was, in part, his motivation for forming the group, which allows other corporate counsel in the same position to bounce ideas off one another. Dual-qualified in law and finance, Lee has had various articles published in the investment space including one which won the Mondaq award in 2009. Lee was appointed the inaugural chair of the AIMA Sound Practices Committee in 2014. This newly set-up 40-strong global committee provides strategic guidance and oversight into AIMA’s sound practices and industry guidance products.
