The first phase of the partnership will see more than 150 Maybank relationship managers, client advisers, wealth managers and specialists from Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong
enrolled in the inaugural course held in Singapore and Malaysia. Participants who complete the training and assessment programme will receive a certification from WMI.

“The WMA will help enhance the skills and competencies of our wealth management personnel whilst keeping them abreast of new opportunities that are emerging in the fast-changing 4.0
environment today,” said Maybank Group chief human capital officer Nora Abdul Manaf.

A total of three courses are offered: WMI’s Private Banking Wealth Management Programme (PBWM) accredited at Institute of Banking and Finance (IBF) Level 1 Private Banking, a customised version of PBWM, as well as an in-depth Investment Advisory programme accredited at IBF Level 2/3 Private Banking.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
