UBS veteran China private banker Su leaves firm after 19 years
Su had been on leave since May before departing the Swiss bank this month, according to the people who asked not to be named as the information is private. Most of her 19-year tenure was spent handling clients from the Greater China region in Singapore, according to her LinkedIn profile.
The topic of China wealth in Singapore has been in the spotlight, particularly given the influx of flows from the country in recent years. When 10 people of Chinese origin were arrested last year in the nation's biggest money-laundering scandal, the case also raised scrutiny over the role of banks in helping to police foreign wealth. — Chanyaporn Chanjaroen, Denise Wee and Low De Wei, Bloomberg News

Goldman installs JPMorgan’s Bryon Lake to boost public franchise
Bryon Lake, who starts Monday as a New York-based partner, will serve as GSAM's chief transformation officer, a newly created role, according to a press release. Lake is expected to better bundle the firm's different public-market offerings — such as exchange-traded funds and separately managed accounts — in a bid to gain ground in a fiercely competitive investment arena, according to Goldman's Marc Nachmann.
"Our heritage has always been — on the investing side — we've always been active investors," Nachmann, Goldman's global head of asset and wealth management, said in an interview. "I would say we've probably been less-good on packaging, marketing and broad appeal. And so when you think about what Bryon's done, he's obviously done a phenomenal job on the active ETF side and growing that business." — Katie Greifeld, Bloomberg News
