Liechtenstein VP Bank has also announced the closing of the Hong Kong office, after Asia CEO (Private Bank) Pamela Phua & Asia COO Heline Lam have both resigned (Both joined VP bank 3 years ago in 2021 from Pictet Wealth Management). Pamela Phua was ex-Pictet Head of Asia Family Office & Celine Lam was ex-Pictet Head of Human Resources Asia. New VP Bank Co-CEO Reto Marx has 25 years of private banking experience including at UBS, Credit Suisse and Bank Sarasin-Rabo, holding senior roles including as APAC Regional Head for Global Financial Intermediaries (GFIM), Head of Southeast Asia & Market Head of International Wealth Management (IWM). Co-CEO Thomas Rupf has been with VP Bank for more than 17 years, holding senior roles including as Head of Investment Advisory & Treasury, CEO and Head of Investment Advisory & Treasury Asia, and Chief Investment Officer Asia. VP Bank (13/2/25): “With Singapore as a key strategic hub, the Bank has optimised its organisational structure under the headship of Reto Marx and Thomas Rupf, reaffirming its strong commitment to Asia and prioritising sustainable, profitable growth for its Singapore branch. Asia remains an important region for VP Bank Group, with Singapore serving as a strategic cornerstone for its growth trajectory. As part of a sharpened strategy, which includes the appointment of industry veterans Reto Marx and Thomas Rupf as Co-Heads of the Singapore Branch as well as a continued relentless focus on fostering synergies between the Intermediaries and Private Banking client segments, the Bank will leverage the city-state’s robust financial infrastructure, strategic location and forward-looking regulatory environment, to focus on opportunities in a targeted manner in the fast-growing Asian markets. VP Bank’s core competency lies in its deep expertise and established presence in the Intermediaries segment. This core competency is ingrained in its DNA, enabling the Bank to uniquely understand and anticipate the sophisticated and evolving needs of its clientele in order to deliver tailored financial solutions that meet their goals and priorities. In the area of Private Banking, the Bank also offers wealthy individuals its expertise, personalised advice and international network. The Private Banking business complements the Intermediaries business and benefits from the significant synergies created, including a state-of-the-art digital platform. Both Reto and Thomas are seasoned bankers, each with more than 20 years of experience and expertise in the financial services industry. Together, they will prioritise sustainable, profitable growth in both the Intermediaries and Private Banking segments.”
