In his welcoming speech, Mr Imhof said, "Information and Advisory on investments is becoming increasingly important for consumers in Brunei as investment opportunities are now more global due to the changing economy. Since we ventured into the retail banking business, we have seen remarkable growth both in our customer base and the scope of financial products and services we offer to our clientele."
"As we strive to understand and fulfill the personal banking needs of our customers, we saw an increasing demand for support and advisory services in financial planning, wealth and asset management. There is a growing segment of affluent individuals who are keen to look beyond the conventional time deposits and property investments, to explore other options that will enable them to grow and protect their wealth."
"This will be followed by more treasury and wealth management products in the near future. All of these offerings will be underpinned by the global expertise and reach, product development capabilities, and solid capital base of our international strategic partners, including leading financial institutions and fund managers." |
