help in growing the bank’s private banking business in Asia has been greatly appreciated and we wish him all the best in his new role. His departure does not impact UBP’s growth strategy there, which is a key development region for the bank – as illustrated by the recent partnership agreement it concluded in China and the opening of a new company in Shanghai,” the statement said.

When he was appointed in February 2011, Repkow had joined from Swiss-Asia Financial Services, where he was chief investment officer. He also held senior positions at Deutsche Asset Management, Citi Private Bank and BNP Paribas and has focused variously on fixed income, treasury, private banking and asset management during his career.

Among other moves at UBP recently, last summer it named a new head of its multi-family office platform in Singapore. It appointed Joerg Hansen, formerly of DBS Private Bank. Other hires at the unit include Cheryl Ng, who also previously worked at DBS, and Ong lu-Jin, who is head of the multi-family office.
