Lately, several commentators have suggested that Switzerland’s dominance in global wealth management, particularly in Asia, is fading. But is this narrative accurate?

As part of its strategy to strengthen its service offerings to independent wealth managers, Union Bancaire Privée, UBP SA (UBP) has decided to join the Wecan Group network as well as the Blockchain Association for Finance.

Union Bancaire Privée, UBP SA (UBP) and Societe Generale announced today that they have entered into two exclusive agreements whereby UBP will acquire Societe Generale’s Swiss private banking activities (Societe Generale Private Banking Suisse) as well as their UK and Channel Islands wealth management arm (SG Kleinwort Hambros). Both transactions are expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2025. 

Union Bancaire Privée’s net profit rises by 24.6% to CHF 138.1 million

UBP’s Head of Sustainability, Robert de Guigné, reflects on UBP’s progress in advancing the sustainability agenda since his arrival in August 2022, and outlines what’s next for the Bank as the sustainable finance agenda evolves rapidly in and beyond Switzerland.

UBP’s fourth annual Sustainability Report outlines our sustainability vision and strategy, while providing a transparent account of our progress and achievements along with next steps, covering both investments and operations.

Hubbis met with Eric Morin recently to learn more about UBP’s current momentum in Southeast Asia, the bank’s key focus areas, his strategic priorities, and his vision for the future of private banking in the region.
