The bank’s ability to attract substantial net new money highlights its client trust and successful wealth management strategies. Julius Baer has also made significant strides in enhancing the client onboarding experience, achieving a notable reduction in onboarding time compared to previous years.
- The bank’s in-house funds are standout examples of Julius Baer’s ability to create investment solutions that meet the diverse needs of its clients.

Julius Baer’s Asia-based innovation lab, Launchpad, drives technological advancements that enhance client service and operational efficiency through the development of over 50 projects.

The Asia-Switzerland desk continues to drive growth by bridging Swiss expertise with dynamic Asia markets, while senior hires enhance client service and the management of complex client needs.
What we said…
“Julius Baer’s four wins and two highly commended awards at the 2024 Asian Private Banker Awards for Distinction are a testament to the bank’s exceptional performance across key areas, including asset and revenue growth, product innovation, market expansion, and client service excellence, solidifying its position as a leading pure play in the private banking industry,” said Audrey Raj, senior consultant, South Asia editor of Asian Private Banker.
“The bank achieved a significant year-on-year increase in client assets, driven by positive market performance, strong net new money, and its ability to attract new clients, particularly from Greater China, Southeast Asia, Thailand, and India. Julius Baer continues to expand its footprint and attract top talent, having hired a significant number of senior front-office professionals, including group heads and senior relationship managers, to strengthen client relationships and drive growth.
“In addition, Julius Baer’s Asia-Switzerland desk has seen significant growth in both AUM and revenues, cementing the bank’s position as a key player in Asia. The bank’s product innovation has also been a key differentiator, resonating strongly with clients, particularly in Asia. All of this was reflected in Julius Baer winning the Best Private Bank –
