Bank of Singapore appoints Joey Tang as Hong Kong head of investment solutions group

[SINGAPORE] Bank of Singapore (BOS) has appointed Joey Tang as Hong Kong head of investment solutions group, with immediate effect.

On Monday (Mar 10), the private banking subsidiary of OCBC said: “Tang will spearhead BOS’ product and solutions strategy for the Hong Kong branch across key areas such as capital markets, alternative investments and managed solutions, as well as lending advisory.”

He will also be responsible for driving innovations in product capabilities to support clients in the Greater China region.

Based in Hong Kong, Tang reports to Vivienne Chia, global head of investment solutions group at BOS; as well as Rickie Chan, BOS’ head of private banking for Greater China and its Hong Kong branch chief executive.

Tang has close to 30 years of experience in investment banking and private banking.

Before joining BOS, he served as the head of funds, alternatives and solutions at the private banking arm of Bank of China (Hong Kong).

Prior to that, he also was the head of the Greater China region and head of fixed income, commodities and currencies, at Citigroup Global Markets.

Chia – who is based in Singapore – said: “We have seen an increase in demand for sophisticated product offerings and financial solutions among our clients. To serve this demand, we are dedicated to growing a strong team to provide personalised wealth management solutions to match our clients’ investment needs.

“(Tang’s) extensive experience and leadership qualities will lend strength to our team as we continue to provide best-in-class investment solutions, helping clients achieve investment diversification and enhancing returns across portfolios, especially at this time of heightened macro uncertainty.”

Tang’s appointment is the latest in a series of strategic hires to add to the bank’s advisory and product solutions bench strength globally.

In January, BOS appointed six new hires at its Dubai International Financial Centre branch.
