OCBC takes HNWI banking to next level as clients grow ‘more cosmopolitan and sophisticated’: Helen Wong

AS ASIAN wealth increases, more high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) in Asean are becoming interested in preserving their wealth across generations, said OCBC : O39 0% group chief executive Helen Wong.

“HNWIs have become more cosmopolitan and sophisticated in the way that they run their investments and manage their wealth,” said Wong on the sidelines of OCBC’s media briefing in Hong Kong.

She pointed to such HNWIs hiring professionals, establishing family offices and diversifying their assets as examples of how they manage wealth now, with a focus on preserving wealth for generational transition.
