United Board for Christian Higher Education in Asia
The United Board for Christian Higher Education in Asia was established to advance Christian higher education across Asia. Pareena Gupta Lawrence holds the role of president. Ricky M. Cheng leads the Hong Kong office and development work. The endowment deploys capital through direct holdings. Confirmed partners include the Henry Luce Foundation and Chung Chi College at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Geographic reach centers on Asia with administrative presence in North America and India. The firm maintains three offices and collaborates with AIACHE on leadership programs in India. No dated operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. Governance centers on a board investment committee led by a former UBS risk officer, separating endowment management from program operations.
