Chee reports to Philippe Uzan, deputy CEO and CIO-asset management of iM Global Partner. Chee has "worked closely with Jeremy over the past 23 years on manager and asset class research and the management of Litman Gregory's globally allocated portfolios," the update noted.
A spokesperson for Litman Gregory said, "We are in process of a new hire to fill Jack's fixed income coverage," adding that "Jack will continue his fixed income coverage until a replacement is named to handle and report to him."
