Robert Kalff

Spear’s Review

Robert Kalff is the head of HSBC Global Private Banking’s family office operations. He has over 25 years of experience working in private and investment banking and has held prominent roles at JP Morgan, UBS, Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank. 

Kalff joined HSBC in 2022 to help the bank expand its ultra-high-net-worth clientele and drive new business development. He tells Spear’s that one of his core priorities is to nurture relationships with family offices. ‘Our aim is to find out what the client is trying to achieve with and from their wealth,’ he says. 

As part of this effort, the bank regularly hosts breakfasts and lunches, which ‘gives clients the opportunity to meet and network in an informal and intimate setting’.
