Alpadis Group, the Switzerland-based firm which provides multi-jurisdictional corporate and bespoke fiduciary services, has stepped up its Asia presence by hiring former Julius Baer figure Samy Reeb as managing director of Alpadis Trust (HK) Ltd.
The firm said Reeb will “develop and implement the business development strategy, and help the group expand into new markets”.
Reeb had worked for nearly six years at Julius Baer, as executive director, wealth planning proposition and provider management. He has also worked at some of the world’s largest law firms, as well as at JP Morgan, Credit Suisse and Ernst & Young.
This publication has asked Alpadis about its strategy in Hong Kong and the related region, and will update in due course. The firm said Reeb’s role was a newly-formed one.
Last July Alpadis acquired Singapore-based TAO Trust Group Pte as part of an expansion in the Asia city-state. In 2009 Alpadis Group entered the Singapore market (the firm was originally founded in 2005). Clients include high net worth individuals and companies. TAO Trust Group has operated since 2008.

With more than 20 years’ experience in securities services, Kozu joins BNP Paribas from Mizuho Financial Group.
