Alumni Profile: Dr Andrew Lo
Dr Andrew Lo (The Oxford Senior Executive Finance Programme, 1998) and MSc Management Research, 2001) is Executive Director at UBS Hong Kong branch. He gave us his reflections in summer 2021:
Why did you choose Green Templeton for your place of study?
I chose Green Templeton College for my MSc in Management Research study without hesitation as I had previously taken the Senior Executive Finance programme at Green Templeton College which sparked my interest in finance. The college was a great place to meet other students studying at the Saïd Business School and cultivated a special fellowship among us. The MSc degree turned out to be transformational as my career pivoted from engineering to finance.
Can you give an overview of your current role?
As Executive Director at UBS Hong Kong branch I advise high net worth individuals and family offices on investing and wealth management. I have a specialist interest in hedge fund and private market investing and hold the CAIA charter in alternative investment. In addition, I am a member of the workgroup on Sustainable Finance in UBS.
I have remained active with Oxford University in a number of roles. As a member of the Oxford China Advisory Group, I give advice to the university on alumni and development matters. As a committee member of the China Oxford Scholarship Fund, I help with candidate selection, fundraising and investment management. I was also a President of the local alumni association – the Oxford and Cambridge Society of Hong Kong.
What are your interests beyond work?
My hobbies are Masters swimming, tennis and wine tasting.
What would you consider your greatest achievement in life so far?
Completing my doctoral degree part time at the University of Manchester as a father working full time in banking and finance.
The Radcliffe Observatory is having a conservation makeover...
Behind the printed wrap is a complex network of poles and platforms, giving specialist teams access to every part of this remarkable building.
The Observatory is now undergoing a new phase of work that combines careful conservation of its historic fabric with major environmental upgrades.
Protecting one of Oxford`s most iconic landmarks for generations to come. 🏛️
Over the past week, we have celebrated the extraordinary Green Templeton community through events, volunteering, competitions, challenges and fundraising for student support. It has been wonderful to see alumni, fellows, supporters, friends, staff and students coming together to show our support for students.
From the Garden Party and the Photography Competition, to the Memory Wall and Biscuit Decorating Competition, the week has been filled with moments that reflect the warmth, inclusivity and spirit of our college.
Thank you to everyone who made a gift, attended an event, volunteered their time or followed along throughout the week. Together, we have raised over £65,000 for student support. These gifts will help students pursue opportunities, navigate financial pressures, participate fully in college life and thrive during their time at Oxford.

📸 Congratulations to Sophia Hall (MSc Medical Anthropology, 2025), winner of the Green Templeton College 2026 Photography Competition!
Sophia`s reflection on Vincent captured perfectly the sense of belonging that so many people find at Green Templeton.
A huge thank you to everyone who entered the competition and to everyone who voted. Your support also helped unlock £1,000 of funding as part of our Community & Giving Week challenge!
What a way to start Community & Giving Week 🤩
Saturday`s Garden Party brought together alumni, fellows, friends from across the UK and beyond to celebrate one another and support current and future students.
On the day, many shared their college memories on our `memory wall` - from today on display in the Stables Bar.
We are now asking our global community to share their memories of Green, Templeton and Green Templeton, and help us unlock an additional £1,000 for student support once we reach 50 memories.
You can email development@gtc.ox.ac.uk with a picture or share a video or audio via the link in the comments.
