4. WHY A PRIVATE WEALTH
ASSOCIATION IN
SINGAPORE
• Reflecting a shift in the balance of global economic power from West to East, Singapore
and Hong Kong are now ranked as among the top wealth management centres globally.
• Singapore’s rise as the world's top wealth management centre is part of a competition
between distinct models of financial sector governance, political environment and
economic efficiency of traditional hubs like Switzerland, London versus emerging centres
like Singapore and Hong Kong.

• Private Wealth Management Association (PWMA)
• Association for Private Bankers in Greater China
(APB)
• Association for Family Offices in Asia (AFO)
• Association of International Wealth Management
