As the clock struck midnight on the last day of 2024, Haymans Fung, global head of wealth and retail bank marketing, and head of wealth and retail bank marketing Hong Kong at Standard Chartered Bank, likely breathed a sigh of relief. It had been a whirlwind year for the over 165-year-old institution, marked by challenges and remarkable achievements.
“2024 has gone by so fast,” she says, reflecting on the year. “But it’s been a fulfilling year, looking after Hong Kong and our other key markets. We’ve done so much great work, and I am really proud of what we’ve accomplished.”
Indeed, 2024 for Standard Chartered Bank was nothing if not eventful. The bank’s inaugural Family Office Forum in Hong Kong drew 80 global ultra high-net-worth (UHNW) families, including the renowned Rockefeller family. This high-profile event not only strengthened the bank’s ties with the global elite, but also showcased its expertise in serving the needs of the ultra-high-net-worth segment.
Adding value to the community
However, Fung’s focus extends beyond merely growing the business.
“It’s important that what we do is really inspiring and adds value to the community,” she says. “We have a great platform, and it’s crucial that we use it to give back and make a positive impact.”
