3 articles · Updated · finews.asia · Jul 27

Summary

  • Six senior private bankers have joined RBC Wealth Management across Hong Kong and Singapore, deepening its Asia push with hires from UBS, DBS, Standard Chartered, Bank of Singapore, UOB, Julius Baer and Bank J. Safra Sarasin.
  • Hong Kong accounts for three appointments: Ivy Ma as executive director, Jackson Huang as director and Malcolm Chai as associate director, covering Greater China and Southeast Asia client segments.
  • Singapore adds Shirley Tee as managing director and North Asia team head, alongside George Joseph on the Global South Asia team and Sindy Shi serving offshore Greater China clients.
  • The recruitment drive reflects fierce competition for seasoned relationship managers as rising Asian private wealth, entrepreneurial capital and cross-border family office demand spur international banks to keep investing in the region.
  • RBC has operated in Hong Kong since 1969 and Singapore since 1975, using both cities as booking centres for clients across Greater China and Southeast Asia, with operational support from Malaysia.
