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.

“Asia Pacific continues to be a key growth engine for UBS, contributing meaningfully to invested assets, net new assets and profit before tax, while maintaining a disciplined cost-to-income ratio as the business reached record highs in 2025. Over the past year, the Asia Pacific wealth management business, led by Amy Lo and Jin Yee Young, has demonstrated clear strategic direction, strong execution and a sharp focus on client outcomes, reinforcing its importance within the wider UBS Group.
“Building on the successful completion of major client migrations, the bank sharpened its focus on accelerating growth while enhancing efficiency and profitability.

This was supported by seamless global connectivity linking Asia Pacific with Switzerland, the Middle East and the US, allowing the bank to support clients wherever their wealth, families and businesses are based.
“Central to UBS’s success is its APAC OneUBS model, which unites wealth management, investment banking and asset management into a client-led platform, enabling deeper collaboration and tailored cross-asset and cross-border solutions. UBS also stood out for its strong client experience, underpinned by investment expertise, discretionary portfolio management, global family office capabilities with extensive client engagement and thought leadership.
