Citi Private Bank provides personalized wealth management services for ultra-high-net-worth clients who include many entrepreneurs and senior corporate executives. It has 60 offices in 23 countries. To be eligible for an Citi Private Bank account, the minimum net worth is $25 million USD. This requirement is waived for Law Firm clients and qualified HNW clients. Citi Private Bank's major competitors are JP Morgan Chase Private Bank, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America's United States Trust Corporation, UBS Wealth Management, and HSBC Private Bank.
Its private banking services are divided between high net worth clients and Law Firm groups, which focus on servicing the needs of high net worth individuals and law firms and their lawyers. Formerly part of Global Wealth Management, Citi Private Bank is now part of Citi's Institutional Clients Group. Therefore, Citi Private Bank clients are treated as institutional investors rather than consumer banking clients. The Citi Private Bank's Investment Solutions group provides investment advisory services to the bank's clients. Its Capital Markets group provides clients services in fixed income, equities, and foreign exchange, among other areas.
As of June 2009, Jane Fraser is the Chief Executive Officer and Deepak Sharma the Chairman of Citi Private Bank.
Famous quotes containing the words private and/or bank:
“Each man’s private conscience ought to be a nice little self-registering thermometer: he ought to carry his moral code incorruptibly and explicitly within himself, and not care what the world thinks. The mass of human beings, however, are not made that way; and many people have been saved from crime or sin by the simple dislike of doing things they would not like to confess ...”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
“Good resolutions are useless attempts to interfere with scientific laws. Their origin is pure vanity. Their result is absolutely nil. They give us, now and then, some of those luxurious sterile emotions that have a certain charm for the weak.... They are simply cheques that men draw on a bank where they have no account.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
