HSBC Private Bank has appointed William Lawton as managing director,
head of the private bank South Asia investment
group, and Jeffrey Benjamin as managing director in its international private wealth
team. Lawton
will be responsible for delivering appropriate investment ideas, solutions and
services to the Bank’s clients across the region, reports said. He has more
than 20 years of experience in investments across several leading institutions
in London, New York, Switzerland and Singapore. Benjamin, who will oversee relationship management for
non-Asian resident clients, has extensive experience in wealth management and
private banking for Asian and European markets. “Asia is fast becoming the
new axis for personal wealth as the region continues to drive global economic
growth. In 2010, three quarters of net inflows into the Group’s Private Banking
business originated from Asia,” said Nancie Dupier, chief executive of HSBC
Private Bank for Southeast Asia. “William and Jeffrey will strengthen our client-focused approach
to help connect customers to global investment opportunities,” Dupier added.
