Being named the Best Private Bank in Asia Pacific is a tribute to the trust our clients place in UBS.
This award also reflects our exceptional performance in crossing US$800 billion in invested assets across the region. Asia’s wealth creators look for a partner who can combine high-quality solutions with access, and we connect them seamlessly to opportunities across our strategic corridors, from Switzerland to the US and the Middle East, through a OneUBS experience.
Standing beside entrepreneurs and families as long‑term stewards, we bring our seasoned advice and global scale to help them protect, grow and pass on legacies. I’m proud of our teams across the region, and we will continue to set the standard for advisory excellence and open new doors for the next generation.
