JP Morgan’s private wealth management arm in Asia has made a number of senior appointments across the region, the US-based firm announced today, confirming press reports of the moves made almost a month ago.

Edwin Lim has joined the firm as managing director, market manager for Greater China based in Hong Kong. Most recently, he was Northeast Asia Head of DBS Private Bank. The news service Reuters had reported this move at the start of June but JP Morgan declined to comment at the time. 

Gabriel Chan has been appointed as managing director based in Singapore. He will lead the Singapore-based PWM Greater China bankers. Prior to joining JP Morgan, he was a team head for China/ North Asia markets at the DBS Private Bank based in Singapore.  He will report to Lim.

Patrice Huang has joined JP Morgan PWM as vice president (based in Hong Kong) from DBS Private Bank where she was a team head for the PRC & Taiwan markets. She will be based in Hong Kong covering Greater China PWM clients. She also reports to Lim.

Finally, Eric Goh has been appointed as executive director and investor team lead for PWM in Singapore. Previously he was head of the investment advisory group and regional head of investment consultants at BNP Paribas Wealth Management.

 “We see the build out of our Greater China business as a key element to the expansion of our private wealth management (PWM) business across Asia,” said Peter Flavel, chief executive of JP Morgan PWM in Asia.

JP Morgan Private Wealth Management targets high-net-worth clients with a net worth from $10-30 million. JP Morgan Private Bank focuses on ultra-high-net-worth clients with a net worth above $30 million.
