In this newly created role, Iggy is responsible for coverage of ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) clients\u2019 complex financial needs across regional geographies and products.

Separately, Nick Chan has joined RBC Wealth Management as Head of Private Banking, North Asia, to lead the Bank\u2019s business and strategy in the region. <\/p>

Nick brings over two decades of wealth management experience across Asia and was most recently Deputy CEO and Head of Family Office Asia Pacific at StormHarbour Securities LLP. Previously, Nick spent 14 years at Morgan Stanley Private Wealth Management (PWM) in Hong Kong and Singapore, in roles including Head of Southeast Asia PWM and Co-Head of PWM Sales Management Asia Pacific. Before that, Nick was a senior producer for the UHNW segment at Goldman Sachs in Asia.<\/p>

Terence Chow added, \u201cI am delighted to welcome Nick to RBC. His breadth of experience and extensive connectivity across the region, combined with his leadership skills and client focus, will further fuel momentum towards our growth goals and bring increasing value to Asia\u2019s global families.\u201d<\/p>

Both Iggy and Nick are based in Hong Kong, reporting to Terence Chow, with roles effective from 1 December.<\/p>

To support RBC\u2019s growing client base and the Bank\u2019s ambitions in the region, three new private bankers \u2013 Franky Lee, Elroy Wong and Ellen Choi \u2013 have also joined its wealth management division in Hong Kong in recent weeks.
