“We are delighted to win this award for Best Private Bank – Investment Advisory (Overall) for the fifth year in a row.
“Investment advice is perhaps the most crucial factor for clients in rapidly changing environments such as the one we faced in 2024, so this award is particularly meaningful for us. In a year of rapidly changing markets, we were able to guide our clients through asset allocation, building alpha and tactical plays while remaining focused on returns and sound portfolio management. With our expertise and depth across asset classes, we were able to help our clients navigate volatility and create value.
“This award reflects the strength of our investments platform, our commitment to our clients and the efforts from our advisory and product teams to deliver excellence.”
What was behind the judges’ decision?
- BNP Paribas Wealth Management recorded a strong hit rate of profitable ideas across all major asset classes during 2024, demonstrating the bank’s capabilities in navigating volatile markets and distilling big themes into key, relevant and actionable trades for Asia clients. The bank’s strong performance in terms of volumes and revenues is a testament to these characteristics.
- The bank’s open architecture is one of the strongest in the region, with a large array of counterparties ensuring competitive pricing and transparency. This carefully curated list of trading counterparties ensures the bank is fed a crucial source of market intelligence from across the industry while allowing clients to still benefit from the global markets team’s tailor-made investment solutions.
- BNP Paribas Wealth Management’s coverage of individual securities and currency pairs is one of the most extensive in the regional private banking industry. On the fixed income side, the bank covers around 3,000 bonds from more than 600 issuers via on-the-ground analysts in Europe and Asia. The bank has also strengthened its equity coverage in Japan, Hong Kong and mainland China in order to better serve client appetite for trading in these markets.
What we said…
“There are few private banks in Asia that can boast a truly comprehensive investment proposition across asset classes ranging from equities and fixed income, to FX and alternatives. BNP Paribas Wealth Management is without doubt one of those, whose strength in its overall advisory proposition is reflected in Asian Private Banker’s decision to once again award the bank Best Private Bank – Investment Advisory (Overall) at the Awards for Distinction,” said Daniel Shane, editor of Asian Private Banker and head of the Judging Panel.
“Among the highlights of the bank’s investment proposition in 2024 were improved research capabilities in the equities space, compelling fixed income campaigns to encourage clients out of deposits, and rising penetration among wealthy clients of its lending platform. Within each asset class, BNP Paribas Wealth Management proved adept from an allocation and timing perspective when it came to both strategic and tactical calls – a fact best represented by the bank’s strong revenue performance across its Asia advisory business.
“Asian Private Banker is once again delighted to award BNP Paribas Wealth Management the prize of Best Private Bank – Investment Advisory (Overall).”
