oh hey! Look up cazenove capital too, if you're looking for management. Lower AUM fee than UBS, different customer approach. So far we like CS and Cazenove, but have another meeting with CS tomorrow. Still waiting on DBS.
That's a shame, but not surprised.
However I've recently learnt/understood that segregation only matters if you ever plan to remit the funds.︀ If it stays off shore (UK), then the structures or UK reporting / non-reporting don't︁ matter.
If you're sure you won't remit some funds then DBS is an option.
Or - if you put some with DBS that you won't remit, and then the rest︂ with a European crew like CS or Cazenove Capital for funds you might remit into︃ UK. I'm considering doing some spell like this as I like DBS, they have a︄ great reputation and I intend on having more presence in SEA in the future so︅ it may prove useful. Not to mention splitting between 2 investment banks across hemispheres is︆ appealing. Then also I will look further into managing more myself with swissquote or Saxo︇ trader etc.
