VP Bank has been named Best Overall Custodian for External Asset Managers at the WealthBriefingAsia Awards 2026, in what was an inaugural category introduced this year.

The award recognises VP Bank’s long-standing commitment to the intermediaries business, which remains a core pillar of the bank’s strategy in Asia, and reflects the bank’s dedicated focus on supporting independent wealth managers through a robust custody platform and partnership-led approach.

With 70 years of heritage, VP Bank was founded in 1956 by Guido Feger, a successful entrepreneur and fiduciary who recognised the importance of providing trusted financial solutions tailored to the needs of clients and intermediaries. That entrepreneurial and partnership-driven spirit continues to shape the bank today.

Michel Hofstetter, Head of Intermediaries & Private Banking Singapore at VP Bank, said: “This recognition is a strong validation of our strategic direction and long-standing commitment to the EAM business. More importantly, it reflects the trust placed in us by our clients and partners, as well as the dedication and collaboration demonstrated by our teams across the region.”

As a Liechtenstein-headquartered private bank with a growing presence in Asia, VP Bank continues to strengthen its custody and advisory capabilities for intermediaries and private clients alike. Through its open-architecture model, dedicated EAM teams, and focus on operational efficiency, the bank aims to provide EAMs with the infrastructure and support needed to navigate an increasingly complex wealth management landscape.

Guided by its philosophy of Partnership for Progress, VP Bank remains committed to building long-term relationships and delivering sustainable value for clients.
