Last November, it also announced its plans to establish a new private bank booking centre in Singapore. 

The private bank reported CHF 224.2 billion in global AUM at end-2024, up from CHF 204.2 billion a year earlier.

The council was first launched in 2024 as part of the bank's strategic move to develop key insights and thought leadership for clients.

Insurer&#8217;s 10,000-sq-ft Tsim Sha Tsui center targets HNW mainland visitors amid record HK$62.8B cross-border insurance spend.

As market uncertainties persist, UBS is guiding clients toward FX hedging, global diversification and alternative investments&#8212;strategies that could define portfolio resilience in the coming decade.

With sustained momentum in AUM growth and strategic hires, OCBC is positioning itself for further gains in Greater China&#8217;s competitive private banking landscape.
