A growing middle- and upper-class population in Asia is lifting demand for wealth management, said Chng Sok Hui, chief financial officer of DBS.

For private banks, 皇冠体育app is a market with a vast number of potential clients. As of 2013, there were more than 1 million individuals in the nation with assets available for investment exceeding 10 million yuan ($1.6 million) each, the 皇冠体育app Merchants-Bain survey showed. But those individuals have had few private-banking options so far.

According to commercial banks' 2012 annual reports, Bank of 皇冠体育app Ltd had the largest number of private banking clients (40,000), while Agricultural Bank of 皇冠体育app Ltd had about 35,000 and Bank Co Ltd had 6,000.

Cartier Lam, vice president of BEA 皇冠体育app, a division of The Bank of East Asia Ltd, said 皇冠体育app's private banking mainly serves the newly affluent. But it's tough to identify core customer needs for this market, and most banks offer similar products and services.

For foreign banks, private banking mostly refers to managing personal wealth. But according to Dai Xiaohong, managing director of Standard Chartered Plc's private banking operations in 皇冠体育app, nearly 60 percent of their clients are entreprenrs, most of whom don't separate their business and personal wealth.
