This news service recently saluted a range of organisations and individuals who won in our Greater China Awards programme. We will run a series of stories describing what the judges thought about the winners.

Citi Private Bank scored notable successes this year at the WealBriefingAsia Greater China Awards 2020 programme, taking awards in a number of categories. 

The judges had this to say about the bank’s success in the following categories: 

Best Hong Kong International Private Bank
“Our winner demonstrated one of [its] competitive advantages being the seamless access to major geographies especially the US where there is significant interest by its North Asia clients. It impressed by being one of the few institutions that is still committed and able to continue to support US clients living in Asia as well as investors from Asia wanting exposure and access to the US market – a service which a number of institutions have not been able to maintain.”

Best Hong Private Equity Provider
“Our winner’s manager research team which originates thematically relevant opportunities across the private equity spectrum, including debt, equity, and structured products focused on both developed and emerging economies was most impressive.”

Best Next-Gen Programme
“Our winner differentiated itself by also catering to the wide-ranging needs of Next-Gens who are in later stages of life. It understands that those who already have a significant role in the family business benefit from more complex and nuanced programming.”

Best Client Experience 
“Our winner impressed by providing a holistic experience for clients with wealth management and banking needs in multiple regions. Accounts in each region are supported by a dedicated private banking team based in that region, working in collaboration with the primary relationship manager, delivering the best of the bank’s global capabilities.”

Headline sponsor for the awards was Refinitiv; other sponsors were Huddleston Jones, ProFundCom, smartKYC and Sun Life Financial.
