YK Ha, CEO of Citibank Korea said “Citibank first introduced wealth management service in Korea with ‘Citigold’ brand to customers with 100 million KRW back in 1991. Since then, 21 years have passed and the HNWI market has grown significantly. Going through the financial crisis, HNWIs have developed need for the sophisticated financial service. Citibank is introducing Citigold Private Client to meet this market demand and will provide enhanced professional wealth management service. As Citibank Korea has been selected as best private bank in Korea from Asiamoney for three years in a row, we have proved our specialty in wealth management service. I believe we can now provide private banking know-how to more clients by introducing Citigold Private Client.
Citigold Private Client will run series of investment seminars inviting key speakers from global financial market starting with Mark Mobius seminar on August 21, 2012. Additionally, weekly and monthly seminars with CIOs are scheduled going forward.
