Private bankers only do one thing; BRING IN AUM.

and obviously if you are 20 something or even in your 30s, you are not going to be a private banker. WHICH multimillionaire will want to take advice from a young punk? go think la!


maybe after you slog like a dog as an Associate RM for 8 years or you work on a Private Client, HNW platform then maybe you can even dream of being a private banker.


and BTW, its ******** that private bankers earn the most among bankers. ive seen Citigold Private client and Citigold RMs earn more then private bankers, simply because they get commission.

Enlightening info. Btw, I'm curious to know what are the position and job scope of those cxtxbank staff at front desk wearing uniform? Do they get paid alot?

Any idea the salary range?

Around 4-5k, usually front line service staff not paid very well in banks.

less. about 2.5

To clear up doubts, if you want to earn big in banks, do sales.

The normal operation staffs don't earn much. Frontdesk tellers pay starts at about 2k for diploma, the most senior i've seen is about 4k but she's near her fifties.

As a equity researcher responsible for generating reports for clients, i draw a fixed salary that is 'on-par' with my peers in civil service. Why i say 'on-par' is because you have to factor in the extra time put in. Most of the fixed salary in banks are paid 'competitively' to singapore market rates (pegged to the salaries of civil servant, the benchmark of salary)

Many of the people are just plain trolls. Bankers are like property agents, few make it big, many fail miserably. For private bankers you get money as you close. The record holders draws few millions per annum. But there isn't alot.

Private bankers are not rich. There is a saying internally that it's a irony that we take care of client's money but do not know how to take care of our own. Many people have died in banking industry due to their unrealistic lifestyles.

Was curious about this topic, entered this thread, only to find plenty of trolls lying around.

Hi, don't mind sharing how much are you making right now when you say you're just "on par" with civil sector?

Comms no, I agree but most private banks do calculate product sales as part of the target RoA though. AuM by itself doesn't generate money, particularly if most fees(safekeeping etc) is ususally waived.
