About the Donor
Founded by Gregory See (BBM 2007 & MWM 2008), Avrian Tan, and Tim Kusumo, AGT Partners is a MAS-licensed fund manager comprising a team of value-oriented investors managing assets for clients across the world.
In a capitalistic society driven by rapid technological advancements, benefits often accrue disproportionately to a few. AGT Partners believes that those who have been fortunate share a responsibility to uplift the underprivileged, ensuring that no Singaporean is left behind as the nation continues to progress.
In this spirit, AGT Partners has established the AGT Partners Scholarship at Singapore Management University (SMU), supporting students with the greatest financial need. The Scholarship seeks to:
1. Alleviate financial burdens, enabling students to focus on their studies and engage fully in university life; and
2. Inspire social responsibility, nurturing compassionate individuals who give back to society.
By supporting students in perpetuity, the AGT Partners Scholarship not only empowers individuals, but fosters a ripple effect of kindness, making it one of the most meaningful investments AGT Partners has made in building a more inclusive future.
As SMU celebrates its Silver Jubilee, AGT Partners extends its warmest wishes for 25 more years of excellence and impact.
