A word from the judges...

“Siam Commercial Bank’s win as Highly Commended Domestic Private Bank – CIO Office underscores its success in executing its asset allocation philosophy that emphasises client centricity and elevated advisory experiences,” said Kylie Wong, senior data reporter at Asian Private Banker. “The bank operated as one investment office by integrating investment products, research capabilities, discretionary portfolio management and family office. 

“Siam Commercial Bank has been disciplined when it comes to its asset allocation framework. With a focus on quality income and global diversification to deliver returns and differentiate performance from peers despite market volatility, the framework is reviewed and endorsed by its investment experts annually. 

“Siam Commercial Bank also enhanced its framework in 2025 through a co-investment committee with BlackRock, leading to co-branded research, a timely market strategy, and a new advisory model with exclusive alpha-generating products. 

“In 2025, Siam Commercial Bank put its attention on thematic investment strategies and made key tactical calls for the year, creating success in generating alpha through selective exposure to quality income and innovative themes, allowing the bank to outperform its peer group.

“With these achievements, Siam Commercial Bank is the well-deserving recipient of Highly Commended Domestic Private Bank – CIO Office.”
