Bank Julius Baer, Switzerland¡¯s leading dedicated wealth manager, has announced that the Monetary Authority of Singapore has granted in-principle approval for the bank to establish a wholesale bank branch in Singapore.
The bank was established in Singapore in 2003 and became Bank Julius Baer (Singapore) Ltd. on 3 January 2006.

Thomas R. Meier, CEO Private Banking Asia, Middle East, Aegean & Eastern Europe, said: "This is yet another important milestone and an integral part of the bank's strategy to strengthen our presence and expand our business and footprint in the region and bring us even closer to our clients here."
Wilfried Kofmehl, CEO Private Banking South East Asia, added: "We would like to thank the Monetary Authority of Singapore for their support. We are committed to Singapore and the regional market.
