Helping Wealth Blossom
Cynthia Lee is an avid gardener, and she sees many shared principles between her favourite pastime and her day job as regional head of Wealth Planning and Advisory for Asia Pacific at HSBC Private Banking.
“You need to have the right ecosystem to let plants flourish,” she says. “I walk around my garden proudly every day and see that some plants are flowering, some need more shade or more water. When a plant outgrows its pot, I’m extremely proud and move it so that it has more room to continue growing.
“I think this has a lot of similarities to how we work with families and how we try to create the right ecosystem for our wealth advisers so that they can bring value to the clients that we work with.”
The dedication and patience needed to build these strong roots pays off in a year such as 2020, when Covid-19 hit like a typhoon
