Last month, the bank launched a family office services unit to attract affluent Chinese families.
Tan Mae Shen was appointed as the chief of the new unit.
Moreover, this April, the bank unveiled plans to acquire a controlling stake in its Chinese securities joint venture (JV).
Its JV partner in China is Founder Securities, whose holding in the JV is expected to reduce to 49% with the move while Credit Suisse’s stake increases to 51%.
Through this move, which is pending regulatory approval, Credit Suisse follows in the footsteps of UBS.
JPMorgan and Nomura too announced their securities JVs in China recently.
