Bank of Singapore has named Claude Andre Harbonn as its new Head of Investment Advisory, a newly created role he will take up on 5 January 2026.

Harbonn will be based in Singapore and will oversee the bank’s global investment advisory teams.

His responsibilities include shaping the advisory strategy, supporting revenue growth, working with front office teams to deepen product engagement, and strengthening portfolio advisory services.

He will report to the Heads of Private Banking in Singapore, Hong Kong and Dubai, which are the bank’s main hubs.

Investment advisors across these locations will have a functional reporting line to him alongside their existing local reporting structure.

The bank said this arrangement is intended to help address local market nuances, support regional collaboration and maintain consistent global standards.

Harbonn has more than 20 years of experience in private banking and wealth management.

He was previously Co-Head of the UHNW Solutions Group at UBS Wealth Management, where he led a global team across Switzerland, Singapore and Hong Kong with a focus on complex mandates and family office clients.

Before UBS, he held senior roles at Credit Suisse, including Market Group Head for Indonesia and Malaysia and Head of Advisory and Sales for South Asia.

He built and led a team of nearly 50 investment consultants and spearheaded sales initiatives across asset classes.
