The private bank said the additions to the teams are part of parent group OCBC's "whole-of-wealth proposition."

Bank of Singapore has announced several top-level appointments for its family office and wealth advisory team.

Elvin Ho (pictured below) will join the bank on 4 May as head of family office and structuring solutions. In this role, Ho will lead the bank’s competency and solutions centre to develop its family office offering, wealth structures – particularly for the bank’s UHNW segment – and philanthropy. Before this, Ho worked at JP Morgan Private Bank where he advised UHNW clients across Southeast Asia on multi-jurisdictional general taxation, estate and succession planning. Prior to that, Ho spent 19 years at UBS in senior roles spanning wealth planning, investment consulting, markets and business risk as a competency centre head.
