The renowned Ignatius - or Iggy - Chong has resigned from
Coutts after serving
twenty years at the private bank.
He steps down from his role as chairman of Coutts Institute Asia.
Over the course of his career he climbed to the very top having
been head of Hong Kong for the bank and also the interim head of
North Asia in 2012, Coutts confirmed.
He joined the firm in 1994 as a vice president and junior private
banker.
But there are no signs that the firm is slowing down in North
Asia. At the start of this year the firm hired three private
bankers and created a new private banking team in Hong Kong.
In May Coutts appointed former JP Morgan wealth management senior
executive Shun-Tak Pang as its head of the Hong Kong market. He
took over the role from Chong.
