With Hong Kong’s private wealth management industry inching towards the HK$10 trillion mark, APB’s Power List Hong Kong seeks to identify and profile the city’s 20 most influential private bankers.
Inclusion is not dependent upon book size but on expertise in the craft of private banking, dedication to serving UHNW clientele, and efforts to elevate the Hong Kong private wealth industry, which puts these bankers head and shoulders above the crowd.
The Power List includes renowned veteran Hong Kong market bankers, such as Adeline Chien from UBS Global Wealth Management and Rickie Chan from Bank of Singapore, as well as rising bankers with excellent track records and reputations, such as Erina So from BNP Paribas Wealth Management and Ruby Shing from J.P. Morgan Private Bank.
