Winners Rationale

“J.P. Morgan Private Bank was recognised as Best Private Bank – Alternative Advisory for its strategic focus on alternatives, which sit at the heart of its wealth management approach amid evolving markets and growing client demand for diversified portfolios,” said Audrey Raj, editor of Asian Private Banker.

“J.P. Morgan Private Bank’s alternatives platform has grown substantially, building on decades of experience across private equity, private credit, real assets, and hedge funds. The bank has expanded both its global team and regional capabilities, with experienced specialists in Asia and the US providing rigorous sourcing, due diligence, and structuring for private market opportunities. This expertise allows clients to access both institutional-quality investments and highly curated direct deals. 

“The firm has continued to broaden access to private markets through initiatives such as the Evergreen platform, which offers flexible, semi-liquid exposure across private equity and real assets. The bank is launching the Managed Evergreen Alternatives SMA program, which enables clients to hold professionally managed, individually owned portfolios. These solutions offer a combination of institutional-grade management, transparency, and tailored portfolio integration.

“J.P. Morgan Private Bank also leverages Morgan Private Capital to deliver differentiated opportunities, including co-investments, direct deals, and secondary transactions, often unavailable through traditional channels. By combining this with advanced structuring capabilities, the bank can customise solutions for individual client needs, ranging from anchor investments to special purpose vehicles.

“The growth of alternatives at J.P. Morgan Private Bank reflects both strong client engagement and the firm’s ability to deliver innovative, accessible, and diversified investment options. Its integrated approach, deep expertise, and commitment to expanding client access reinforce the bank’s leadership in alternative advisory and its ability to help clients achieve long-term wealth objectives, making it a well-deserved winner of Best Private Bank – Alternative Advisory.”
