Really insightful report issued by ONYX and Apollo, addressing "The Future of Wealth Management". Report underscores the transformative potential of blockchain technology in wealth management. Managing discretionary portfolios, a $5.5 trillion industry, currently faces limitations due to outdated technology. Blockchain, tokenization, and smart contracts offer innovative solutions, particularly in integrating alternative investments like private equity and real estate, which have been historically difficult to access. The report highlights a significant shift in how companies will need to embrace tokenization in portfolios, which will naturally require an evolution on hiring and human capital considerations in the future, if banks are to adapt to these advancements. Wealth managers will need to recruit talent with expertise in blockchain, data analytics, and digital asset management. This shift could disrupt traditional discretionary managers as the skill sets required to manage tokenized portfolios differ from conventional asset management. Embracing this technological shift and adapting human capital strategies will be crucial for firms aiming to remain competitive. The rapid adoption of blockchain and tokenization across portfolios is likely, and companies that successfully integrate these new skills will gain a competitive edge. The future of wealth management hinges not only on technological innovation but also on the ability to source and develop the right talent to harness its potential. At Huddleston Jones, we are already observing a shift in hiring objectives within traditional advisory roles and requirement for more technical skillsets. It will be intriguing to see how quickly these new benchmarks are integrated into hiring requirements and whether the market can supply the necessary talent pools. #wealthmanagement #privatebanking #technology #blockchain #tokenization #headhunter #huddlestonjones #alternatives

Merry Christmas to all of our Clients, Candidates and Business Partners !! ☃️🎄🥂

With the escalating cost of living in Singapore comes the expected impact on compensation levels, especially within the private banking sector. Private bankers in Singapore are seeking higher salary increments compared to Hong Kong, where the average is 10 to 15%. This behaviour makes for some interesting dynamics when it comes to talent retention and attraction in these two bustling financial centres.  The dynamics at play are not only a reflection of the current economic climate but also a predictor of the industry's adaptability to changing socioeconomic conditions. Feel free to reach out to me if you’d be interested in discussing how these compensation differences impact executive search strategies and the competitive landscape in the private banking sector. #privatebanking #banking #singapore #hongkong #huddlestonjones

What an incredible week submerging myself in Hong Kong's vibrant private banking market! I spent last week with our Huddleston Jones team in North Asia, reflecting on 2023 and planning for 2024. We used this week to engage clients and candidates, meeting with industry-leading CEOs, Market Leaders, and a diverse group of Private Bankers. The Wealth Management sector in North Asia is thriving compared to Southeast Asia and Singapore, despite challenges in the market due to an economic slump in China and a weaker IPO market. However, recent Hong Kong Monetary Authority's initiatives, particularly in Family Office development, have been a game-changer for Private Bankers. For more insights, check out my recent Editorial with WealthBriefing, where I unpack the latest industry trends, challenges, and provide my outlook for Hong Kong's private banking sector in 2024. #privatebanking #hongkong #wealthmanagement #chinaeconomy #privatebanker #economy #familyoffice #digitalisation #uhnw https://lnkd.in/gBbv74uT

Exciting times ahead as Asia propels wealth creation at an unprecedented pace! According to Harshika Patel, J.P. Morgan Hong Kong Chief Executive, the city is poised to dominate this surge in wealth and is set to become one of the world's largest wealth centres. With its strategic initiatives, Hong Kong aims to attract 200 new family offices by 2025, fostering a thriving environment for wealth management. Hong Kong's government initiatives, like the revamped investment migration program and support for family offices, further bolster its position. Despite challenges, Patel remains confident in Hong Kong's resilience and JPMorgan's commitment to the region for the next 100 years. Having just visited our Hong Kong office, I'm certainly invigorated by the city's resilience. #wealthmanagement #assetmanagement #hongkong #singapore #privatebanking

I'd just like to second this and underline how "Vibrant" and "Pro-Business" Dubai was, and what a remarkable scaling of this amazing Citi since my last visit. Catching up with contacts and clients over the days we were there, without exception, the positive outlook on the direction of Dubai and the UAE was echoed without exception. Clearly Dubai has a progressive and defined roadmap to what it wants to achieve, and if the individuals met were any indicator; they will exceed this in no time at all. Refreshing to hear a message of positivity and growth!!!
