Credit Suisse has appointed a number of senior executives serving ultra high net worth clients. The appointments are at the Swiss bank’s Solution Partners team in Asia, it said today. “The appointments, which are effective immediately, are instrumental in expanding Credit Suisse’s UHNW client service platform across Asia and reflect the bank’s strong commitment and leading position in this important client segment,” the bank said in a statement. As described recently in an interview with the head of UHNW client business in the UK, Credit Suisse is a vigorous advocate of the “one-bank” model, in which private bankers work closely with investment banking colleagues to deliver services to ultra-wealthy clients. Aleksandar Pfajfer has transferred from Solution Partners Zurich to Hong Kong to be the head of Solution Partners Structuring Asia Pacific. Anne Luke has joined as a managing director in Singapore to spearhead Solution Partners Special Finance and Investment Solutions Asia Pacific Initiative. Luke joined Credit Suisse from UBS Wealth Management where she was most recently deputy head of key clients competency center and head of key clients structuring for Singapore. Bernard Heng has been appointed a managing director and head of Southeast Asia and Australia for Solution Partners based in Singapore. Heng joined Credit Suisse from Apollo Management where he was head of Southeast Asia Private Financing.
