Roger Teow, a private banking veteran, has been appointed the Asia head of Haitong’s global family office and Singapore head of private wealth management business.

Prior to joining Haitong International, Teow was an ultra-high net worth relationship manager at Julius Baer. He has also worked at Bank of China, HSBC and Malaysia’s AmInvestments, as well UBS Wealth Management, where he was head of investment and hedge funds, and private equities.

Teow said: “Haitong International’s leading edge in investment banking, combined with its comprehensive financial service platform and in-depth understanding of the needs of entrepreneurs have all contributed to a strong foundation in favour of the development of its family office business.”
