“HSBC Private Bank’s recognition as the Best Private Bank – Hong Kong HNW is a testament to its unwavering strategic focus on supporting clients as their financial requirements evolve. Underpinned by its unique ‘one bank’ model, HSBC integrates personal wealth management with corporate interests and global market opportunities,” said Stanley Li, senior reporter at Asian Private Banker.

“In a year defined by market volatility, the bank demonstrated exceptional resilience and versatility. HSBC achieved significant success across its comprehensive service suite – including structured lending, trust services, discretionary portfolio management, and wealth planning. Notably, its PRISM Advisory platform and bespoke insurance solutions proved instrumental in navigating HNW clients through the complexities of 2025.

This pipeline has resulted in robust growth in both the client base and total AUM.

“Technological innovation remained a cornerstone of the bank’s value proposition in 2025. HSBC revolutionised the client experience by deploying AI-driven portfolio analytics, enabling relationship managers and clients to receive real-time risk assessments and hyper-personalised investment insights.
