French bank BNP Paribas Wealth Management (Private Bank) with $447 billion AUM (€415 billion, Assets under Management) has officially launched BNP Paribas onshore wealth management in Thailand, targeting to increase relationship managers covering Thailand & AUM by 3 times in the next 3 years. Thailand is Southeast Asia 2nd largest economy with $495 billion GDP & 71 million population. BNP Paribas: “BNP Paribas Wealth Management, the leading private bank in the Eurozone and a key player in Asia, plans to expand its local coverage and client asset base as it officially launches its onshore wealth management presence in Thailand, through BNP Paribas Securities (Thailand) Limited (“BNP Paribas Securities Thailand”). The bank is poised to triple the number of relationship managers covering clients in Thailand and their assets over the next three years, highlighting its commitment to better serve clients in the country. BNP Paribas Securities Thailand operates in a unique approach that combines onshore client engagement with offshore account management. This model offers local Thai clients access to BNP Paribas’ comprehensive and award-winning platform based in Singapore while ensuring close interaction with their relationship managers. The range of solutions it provides includes traditional asset management, wealth planning, advisory services, brokerage services, and access to investment opportunities in a broad range of asset classes such as equities, fixed income, hedge funds, and structured products. According to Forbes, the combined wealth of Thailand’s 50 richest increased by nearly 15% to $173 billion in 2023 despite a challenging macro-environment. The latest Hurun Global Rich List, published in March 2023, identified Thailand as the billionaire capital of Southeast Asia, with 46 billionaires (each worth at least $1 billion) in 2022, ranking it 11th in the world. This rising wealth is driving greater demand for sophisticated wealth planning, international investment and family governance.” Earlier in January 2024, BNP Paribas hired 20 bankers in the last 6 months for the wealth management business in Asia, hiring Credit Suisse Martin Loh as Head of China, Standard Chartered Kate Lin as CEO of Taiwan, and other senior hires including Morgan Stanley Tiffeny Situ, Citigroup Wendy Chan, Angela Yang & Vicky Liu.
