Following the announcement last week on the appointment of Dr. Wong Chin Huat as a Fellow of the Penang Institute, we are pleased to announce the appointment of yet another distinguished scholar, a Penangite, as our Fellow, Dr. Lim Kim Hwa.
Dr. Lim Kim Hwa
Dr. Lim brings wide expertise in financial economics and accounting practice to his work in the Penang Institute. He has distinguished careers in accounting/auditing; academia and investment banking/fund management.
Dr. Lim is a qualified Chartered Accountant (ICAEW) and has worked for KPMG and Wilson Wright & Co., Chartered Accountants in London. Subsequently, he pursued a Ph.D. degree at the University of Cambridge and became the first Ph.D. graduate to be appointed Assistant Professor at the Judge Business School, Cambridge University immediately upon completion of the Ph.D. degree. His research work led to his appointment as an external consultant and subsequently as a full time Proprietary Trader at Credit Suisse in London. He then moved to Singapore to be the Director of Quantitative Trading at JL Capital. Dr. Lim remains engaged to academia and is currently a Fellow in Finance and Financial Reporting at the University of Cambridge.
Dr. Lim holds Ph.D. and M.Phil in Finance (Distinction) degrees from the University of Cambridge. He was awarded the highest dissertation mark on the MPhil in Finance program from Cambridge University. He graduated with First Class Honours in Accounting and Finance from the University of Kent at Canterbury. He is a proud student of Chung Ling High School Penang.
Penang Institute is lucky that the primal hometown tugs on the heart have helped motivate an accomplished scholar and successful professional like Lim Kim Hwa to come home and start a career as a public policy analyst.
With Dr. Lim’s multi-disciplinary expertise and his first-hand experiences in the finance industry, he will be working on the financial markets, e.g. ideas to restructure the financial markets to help enable Malaysia to escape from the middle-income trap.
