Holistic Wealth Management with an Investment Banking Touch

A trusted advisor offering objective advice in wealth structuring based on industry-leading research and investment insights from Citi Investment Research.

Unmatched product platform, leveraging the whole gamut of products and services from all Citi businesses.

Coupled with "open architecture", an institutionalised process to access "best-in-class" products from other providers. About 30%-60% of products in clients' discretionary managed portfolios could be non-proprietary.

Includes the soft aspects of wealth management - family advisory; philanthropy advisory; art advisory.

Clients have access to innovative and customised opportunities in private equity, hedge funds, real estate, managed futures and structured products that are not available to retail or mass affluent customers. In some cases, participating through a co-investment arrangement with Citi.

Client Service

A much smaller client-to-banker ratio compared to retail and mass affluent banking. (Average 25 clients per banker)

Team-based approach: Private banker is complemented with a team of financial experts including an investment finance specialist, a trust and estate planner, an investment counsellor, a portfolio strategist, a capital markets specialist, succession planning advisor, among others.

Privacy, Confidentiality, Transparency

A sharp contrast to the traditional Swiss-model where secrecy is the primary proposition.

As a modern private bank, we emphasise performance, value-added advice, global capability, and privacy and confidentiality, which are the driving business propositions. Our aim is to be the client's "global trusted advisor".

Investment Approach

"Discretionary model" where the bankers are empowered to put together a portfolio designed to the clients' risk-return profile.

"Consultative discretionary" where there is dialogue and consensus between the client and banker in the investment choices.

"Advisory approach" where clients are hands-on - they are in constant contact with specialists on the dealing floor to take advantage of trading opportunities instantly.

Suitability: clients are profiled by their risk-return appetite and recommended appropriate products and opportunities from various asset classes - cash and equivalents; fixed income securities; equities; hedge funds, and illiquid investments such as real estate and private equity.

Leadership

Best Global Private Bank - Euromoney, July 06

"Wealth management has evolved rapidly over the past three years. Transparency, globalization and the growth of an entrepreneurial culture have led high net worth clients to demand a new type of private bank. Such a bank needs a global presence, innovative investment ideas and strong investment banking capabilities. While other wealth management firms have clung to services and products that differ from their competitors, Citi Private Bank stands out for having successfully and rapidly made the transition to the new era." - Euromoney July 06
