In the second of a two-part interview series, our global COO Jacky Ang discusses his first 100 days at the bank with Asian Private Banker. One of the initiatives he rolled out was to revamp the setup of the business management function, streamlining processes to add value to the business. He said: “For the things that made sense, we established those as a standard process across the bank, and for those that didn’t make sense, because they were duplicative in nature, we eliminated them. Nobody lost their job, by the way.”

Looking to decipher China's policy pivot? Our Chief Investment Strategist, Eli Lee, shares insights on how investors can navigate the changing landscape.

Our Chief Investment Strategist Eli Lee recently shared his thoughts on Channel NewsAsia on the outlook for China: - Beijing needs to tackle structural imbalances at the root of its economic malaise, such as local government finances and housing over-supply, and this requires bold and thoughtful reforms. - This means we might expect sizeable stimulus in the form of meaningful measures and targeted policies from Beijing, but a bazooka that simply floods the system with liquidity is unlikely: this only kicks the can down the road, or worse, exacerbates existing problems such as capital misallocation or over-leverage in undesirable pockets. - There is no silver bullet: regardless of short-term noise or erstwhile disappointment with limited policy specifics, China’s equity market will be driven by economic fundamentals and Beijing’s policy direction and efficacy in the critical months ahead. The sense of urgency signalled by policymakers over the last month is encouraging, and more needs to be done if we are to see a sustainable bull market.
