The private bank confirmed to this publication it has added to its team in Hong Kong.

BMO Private Bank, part of Canada-headquartered Bank of Montreal, confirmed to this publication that it has added a relationship manager for the Hong Kong market.

“Petty Lee has joined BMO Private Bank in Hong Kong as executive director in March, responsible for developing the Hong Kong market. She will report to Daniel Ho, managing director of BMO Private Bank, Hong Kong branch,” a spokesperson for BMO Private Bank said in an emailed statement late last week.

The international wealth arm of Bank of Montreal is growing the number of managers in its discretionary wealth operations, one of its senior Asia figures said last October.

BMO Private Bank’s Asia head of private banking, Robert Cormie, said his firm will add more managers where needed and add to the number of sub-asset classes.
