More than 10 Barclays relationship managers in Hong Kong are joining Standard Chartered, which is expanding its wealth business in the region after hiring global private banking head Didier Von Daeniken from Barclays in March, said people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be named as the move has not been disclosed.
