UBS
UBS has appointed Claudy Ho as market team head in the private client Hong Kong team, this publication can report. 

Ho reports to Jamee Wong, head of the Greater China private client business, at UBS Global Wealth Management.

With more than 20 years of experience as a private banker, Ho has worked at Swiss and US private banks, managing portfolios for UHNW clients. During her career Ho spent 15 years as an executive director at Morgan Stanley; she also held roles of vice president at Credit Suisse and senior director at Bank Sarasin for six years.

Among other senior appointments, UBS recently appointed Sherwin Wong as market team head at the private client team for Hong Kong.

Bank J Safra Sarasin
Bank J Safra Sarasin was tight-lipped this week about a media report that said a former Deutsche Bank senior banker is due to join it. 

A Citywire Asia report on 26 August said Singapore-based Rasik Ahuja will join the bank in September, focusing on the non-resident Indian market. 

J Safra Sarasin declined to comment when asked about the matter by WealthBriefingAsia. 

Ahuja’s Linkedin profile showed that he is still at Deutsche Bank, where he has worked since 2018. Before that, he worked at Union Bancaire Privée and Coutts, both in Singapore.
