The other members of the PWMA are David Shick, Bank Julius Baer; Lemuel Lee, BNP Paribas, Hong Kong Branch; Rickie Chan, Bank of Singapore, Hong Kong Branch; Horace Yip, Citi Private Bank; Carol Wu, DBS Bank ( Hong Kong );

Lo comments: “As Hong Kong’s private wealth management continues to gain momentum globally, we are proud to help lead the industry during this important period and to play a meaningful role in shaping its continued growth. I look forward to another year of partnership as we champion the interests of our member firms and Hong Kong’s broader financial community.”
