Lombard Odier has made a series of senior hires across Asia to strengthen its wealth planning and investment advisory capabilities as demand from high-net-worth clients in the region continues to grow.
Swiss private bank Lombard Odier has unveiled a series of senior appointments across Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo as it looks to strengthen its advisory capabilities in response to increasingly complex needs and rising global demand from high-net-worth clients in Asia.
Louisa Loo has been appointed head of wealth planning for Asia and will be based in Hong Kong, bringing more than three decades of industry experience gained at Nomura International and other leading financial institutions. In her new role, she will oversee Lombard Odier’s holistic wealth planning and family services across the region, reporting to both the group head of wealth planning and the regional head for Asia private clients.
The bank has also reinforced its Asia Investment Solutions team with two senior hires, naming See Mun Yu as senior investment advisor in Singapore and Maki Shimizu as portfolio manager in Tokyo. These appointments are intended to deepen the bank’s advisory expertise and further enhance its discretionary portfolio management offering for clients across key Asian markets.
Lombard Odier said the new appointments reflect its continued commitment to attracting top-tier talent to deliver tailored solutions and support sustainable long-term growth in Asia. Founded in 1796 and headquartered in Geneva, the bank remains well capitalised with a CET1 ratio of 33.6 per cent and a Fitch credit rating of AA–. As of mid-2025, Lombard Odier manages CHF 323 billion, or around USD 356 billion, in client assets, underlining its long-standing focus on wealth stewardship supported by technology-enabled banking and asset management capabilities.
