SHANGHAI, July 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Recently, the prestigious international financial magazine Euromoney officially announced the results of its 2025 Private Banking Awards. Noah Holdings (HKEX: 6686, NYSE: NOAH) and its newly upgraded overseas brand, ARK Wealth, both achieved remarkable accolades: Noah secured the "Best Wealth Management Institution of the Year" award for the seventh consecutive year and the "Best Overseas Asset Management Wealth Management Institution" title for the ninth consecutive year, while ARK Wealth earned the distinction of "Hong Kong's Best Wealth Management Institution" for the first time. This dual recognition not only underscores Noah ARK's continued leadership in the wealth management sector but also marks a significant breakthrough in its global strategic expansion.
As one of the most authoritative financial media in international capital markets, Euromoney has built a strong reputation and influence in the global financial and economic landscape since its founding in 1969, thanks to its in-depth reporting, independent research, and rigorous evaluation system. With a readership spanning 120 countries and reaching 150,000, including numerous international investment banking analysts, the magazine is a must-read source of authoritative information. Its annual awards, renowned for their professionalism and prestige, are often referred to as the "Oscars of Banking." The results not only recognize outstanding achievements and best practices among financial institutions but also serve as a benchmark for the industry.
Notably, the other winners alongside Noah and ARK this year are all top-tier global financial institutions, including DBS, UBS, CICC, HSBC, JPMorgan Private Bank, and Bank of East Asia, among other industry leaders. This prestigious lineup further highlights the authority and significance of the Euromoney awards.
Financial Heritage, Innovation in Continuity: ARK Navigates Asset Cycles with Professional Resilience
Noah established its presence in Hong Kong 13 years ago as an independent wealth management institution serving high-net-worth Chinese clients. Amid the market volatility triggered by "reciprocal tariffs," ARK's strategic foresight and deep roots in Hong Kong have proven particularly valuable. Hong Kong's free trade policies and tariff-free system enable investors to allocate assets more flexibly, minimizing cost pressures from tariffs. Leveraging Hong Kong's unique status as a free port, its mature financial markets, and international talent pool, ARK has built a robust wealth protection framework for clients through its global asset allocation network and rigorous risk management system, demonstrating professional resilience across asset cycles.
Over the past 13 years, from its landmark IPO to dual certifications from Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) and Insurance Authority (IA), and becoming the first non-bank institution to join the Private Wealth Management Association (PWMA), Noah has consistently proven its expertise. Its seven consecutive wins of Euromoney's "Asia's Best Wealth Management Institution of the Year" award further solidify its place in Hong Kong's financial legacy. Meanwhile, ARK, Noah's newly upgraded overseas brand launched in October 2024, has quickly made its mark. This latest award is its second major accolade in just six months. Earlier, ARK was recognized by Asian Private Banker (APB), a leading independent publication in Asia's private banking sector, as "China's Best Independent Wealth Management Institution" in its 2024 Awards for Distinction—the highest honor in the field. This new achievement serves as yet another powerful testament to ARK's exceptional capabilities.
Precision Positioning, Global Ambitions: Bridging Professional Expertise with Cultural Resonance
Headquartered in Singapore, ARK operates across nine countries and regions worldwide. Its global network is not merely a geographical expansion but a deep-rooted understanding of the needs of Chinese communities. Building on Noah's two decades of experience in serving high-net-worth Chinese clients, ARK combines profound insights into the complexities of Eastern family wealth succession with access to top-tier global asset management resources—from alternative investment opportunities to diversified asset allocation, and from family trust structuring to cross-border identity planning. Driven by "global expertise + local insights," ARK delivers comprehensive wealth management solutions that blend professional depth with cultural warmth.
ARK goes beyond financial solutions, fostering emotional connections with high-net-worth Chinese-speaking clients. This recognition as "Hong Kong's Best Wealth Management Institution" marks a strategic milestone in ARK's global journey and injects fresh momentum into industry innovation. Moving forward, ARK will remain committed to its core philosophy of "Different World, Same Us," guiding wealth management with a global vision while providing professional, international solutions for Chinese-speaking investors. By creating an ecosystem that connects wealth and emotion, ARK aims to offer not only financial growth but also a sense of belonging and respect for Chinese communities worldwide.
