Bank Julius Baer has appointed Kerry Goh as head of its new Zurich-based Asia investment team for European clients, after relocating the banker from Singapore.

The move is aimed at giving Baer’s private bankers in Switzerland and Europe improved access to Asian investments, a bank spokesman said.

Baer, which aims to make Asia its second market after Europe, plans to step up client assets in Asia to 25 percent of the total in five years’ time from 10 percent to 15 percent currently.
