The Swiss bank has a hub of managers looking after the Asia region from Zurich. Julius Baer, also present on the ground in Asia, treats the region as its second home market.

Julius Baer has appointed former Singapore-based wealth management figure Serena Wong as a senior relationship manager, working from Zurich. She reports to Christian Cappelli, head of Asia Switzerland.

Wong has worked in financial hubs including New York, Paris and Singapore.

In her previous job, Wong was at Kamet Capital Partners in Singapore. Prior to this, she was at JP Morgan Private Bank, the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation (GIC) and Société Generale.

“This appointment reaffirms our steadfast commitment to serving the Asia region from Zurich and investing in top-tier talent to drive our business growth,” Cappelli said.  

The Zurich-listed bank’s Asia Switzerland team recently appointed Fernando Kresna Baay as a team head, Jacqlyn Mak and Christophe Amadieu as senior RMs and Abraham Ara as an RM.

In Hong Kong, the bank appointed Jack Wu as a group head for Greater China Hong Kong and promoted Josephine Wang as a group head for Greater China Hong Kong.
