Bank of Singapore has announced a series of senior leadership appointments within its Family Office and Wealth Advisory division, as it seeks to capitalise on accelerating demand from ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) clients worldwide.
The private bank has named Elvin Ho as Head of Family Office and Structuring Solutions, effective 4 May 2026. His appointment forms part of a broader push to enhance the bank’s expertise in succession planning, legacy structuring, and cross-border wealth management—areas gaining prominence amid a multi-trillion-dollar global wealth transfer.
In his new role, Ho will lead the bank’s competency and solutions centre, focusing on expanding its family office platform, strengthening structuring capabilities, and advancing philanthropy advisory services. He joins from JPMorgan Private Bank, where he advised clients across Southeast Asia on multi-jurisdictional tax, estate, and succession planning. Prior to that, he spent nearly two decades at UBS AG in senior wealth planning and investment consulting roles.
Surge in Client Activity
The leadership expansion comes against the backdrop of strong momentum within the bank’s advisory business. Bank of Singapore reported a record year in 2025 for client engagements in its Family Office and Wealth Advisory segment, reflecting rising demand for sophisticated solutions as wealthy families navigate increasingly complex global investment and regulatory landscapes.
As part of the broader reshuffle, Jiawen Guo has been appointed Head of Family Office and Wealth Advisory for Singapore, while Christine Wong continues to lead the division in Hong Kong, covering domestic and Greater China clients. Yasmine Omari remains responsible for operations in Dubai, overseeing Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
Additionally, Harry Ng has been named Senior Wealth Advisor, focusing on key client relationships across Singapore and Malaysia. All appointments report to Paul Chua, Head of Family Office and Wealth Advisory.
The move underscores the bank’s commitment to scaling its advisory platform to meet evolving UHNW client needs, particularly as families seek more integrated solutions spanning global assets, intergenerational wealth transfer, and long-term legacy planning.
