We are proud to be awarded Best Private Bank – Hong Kong UHNW.

Hong Kong is Morgan Stanley’s regional headquarters. We have a significant footprint in the city and considerable resources to deliver to our institutional and wealth clients.

Our UHNW business leverages Hong Kong’s strategic and geographical advantages alongside the firm’s strengths to provide integrated coverage and a one-firm solution to our Hong Kong-based and covered UHNW
clients. In addition, clients benefit from our deep knowledge of China derived from our leading China banking, capital markets and securities businesses, as well as their access to Morgan Stanley’s most important conferences.

We are pleased APB recognised our differentiated offerings to clients in Hong Kong and named us the best private bank in Hong Kong for UHNWs.
