ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY

We are conducting a confidential search on behalf of one of the world's most internationally connected private banks — an institution with over 160 years of heritage across Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas, and a platform that is genuinely unlike anything else in the private banking landscape.

As part of a full-service global banking group, this institution gives private clients access to corporate banking, investment banking, and transaction services that no pure-play private bank can offer. For a senior private banker, this means the ability to serve your clients with a depth and breadth of capability that sets you apart from every competitor.

Singapore is one of this institution's premier global booking centres — a well-regulated, internationally respected jurisdiction at the heart of the bank's Asian strategy, offering private clients full access to its global platform and capabilities.

THE ROLE

We are seeking an exceptional Private Banker to drive growth within the UK private client market, based in Singapore. This is a distinctive mandate: one of the world's most globally connected private banking institutions, in Asia's foremost financial centre, seeking a senior banker with a proven, portable book of UK-based HNWI and UHNWI clients.

Both individual bankers and teams are welcomed. Our client has a preference for cohesive teams — ideally a lead banker supported by up to four additional team members — and is fully prepared to structure a comprehensive, commercially compelling transition package.

IDEAL CANDIDATE PROFILE

• A minimum of 8–10 years private banking experience, with a demonstrably portable book of UK-based HNWI and UHNWI clients of USD 250 million or above

• A proven track record of AUM growth, net new money generation, and sustained revenue delivery at a senior level
• Singapore-based or genuinely open to relocating — candidates already holding MAS licences or equivalent qualifications hold a significant advantage

• A rare and distinctive emerging market heritage — over 160 years of on-the-ground presence across the world's fastest-growing wealth corridors, giving relationship managers a genuinely differentiated platform that cannot be replicated
• Unrivalled group connectivity — as part of a full-service global banking group, private clients gain seamless access to corporate banking, investment banking, and transaction services that no pure-play private bank can offer
• A full-spectrum wealth management platform — encompassing discretionary and advisory portfolio management, alternatives, structured products, philanthropy advisory, and comprehensive family office solutions
• An entrepreneurial culture within a truly global institution — autonomy to manage and grow your client relationships your way, backed by world-class infrastructure, compliance frameworks, and specialist investment capabilities
• Genuine open architecture — best-in-class solutions from across the market, not exclusively proprietary products, enabling relationship managers to deliver truly objective, client-first advice
