RBS Coutts has strengthened its regional offering by hiring Roger Low to spearhead the newly-established Coutts Institute in Asia.

This new business will assist and advise clients on family business, philanthropy and next-generation matters.

This will support the bank’s goal of doubling assets under management over the next few years, said RBS Coutts in a statement.

Low brings with him senior management experience in the service, manufacturing and distribution industries in the region, having spent close to 20 years working in family businesses. Prior to joining Coutts, he taught Family Business and Entrepreneurial Management at the Singapore Management University.

In addition, Belinda Lee has joined the bank as head of strategy for Asia, based in Hong Kong. She was previously in a similar role at UBS.

Meanwhile, Bradley Tyson has recently been appointed as the bank’s head of change for Asia, based in Singapore. He joined from ANZ Bank.
