A word from the judges...

“J.P. Morgan Private Bank’s recognition as Highly Commended Private Bank – Wealth Planning reflects its strong capability in guiding families through the intricacies of inter-generational transitions,” said Stephanie Li, reporter at Asian Private Banker.

“In 2025, the bank demonstrated a consistent approach to the full spectrum of wealth advisory, supporting clients as they navigate the critical stages of succession. By focusing on identifying family goals and values, J.P. Morgan helps families establish structured decision-making frameworks. Its advisors are particularly active in addressing the dual challenges of managing transitions and disruptions, helping families use these moments to organise their unique advantages and work towards an enduring legacy.

“A significant part of its wealth planning focus involves mobility and relocation planning, alongside the establishment of family offices in jurisdictions such as Singapore and Hong Kong. By drawing on its global network, the bank provides practical advice on structuring, residency, and family governance.

“Furthermore, its commitment to thought leadership is evidenced through its partnership with the Wealth Management Institute in Singapore, where the team shares expertise to help equip the broader industry with the depth of knowledge required for complex wealth journeys.

“Whether guiding clients through liquidity events or jurisdictional changes, J.P. Morgan’s adaptable strategy provides a proactive foundation for wealth preservation. These efforts underscore why J.P. Morgan Private Bank has been recognised as Highly Commended Private Bank – Wealth Planning.”
