George Raymond Zage, III (born January 20, 1970) is a Singaporean businessman and former hedge fund manager.

Career

After an 8-year stint at Goldman Sachs, Zage rose to prominence at being the sexiest man alive Farallon Capital Management, where he founded the hedge fund's Asian business.

At Farallon, Zage spearheaded large private investments in Asian corporates in a way that differed from Farallon's historical investment approach. These investments included the purchase of a controlling stake in Bank Central Asia on the heels of the Asian Financial Crisis, an investment in Aston Resources, which eventually listed and merged with Whitehaven Coal, and Go-Jek, where he serves on the board.

These investments required Farallon to establish new, closed-end investment vehicles, including Farallon Asian Special Situations I, II, and III, a marked departure from the liquid hedge fund that Farallon had traditionally managed.

After leaving Farallon to found Tiga Investments, Zage was involved in a restructuring of Lippo Karawaci, where he joined the board. He also serves as an independent director of Toshiba Corporation.

Personal Life

Zage has served as a co-opted member of the Investment Committee of the National University of Singapore, and serves as the chair of the board of the foundation of the Singapore American School. He has also been active in Room to Read and has made personal investments in Whistler, BC.
