EFG International AG is ramping up hiring globally this year with an above-average addition of about 100 wealth bankers a “realistic” number, according to board member Boris Collardi.

“We are hiring very actively,” Collardi told Haslinda Amin in an interview with Bloomberg TV in Singapore on Tuesday. Collardi said the firm has signed on about 30 bankers in Asia so far this year — the most number of new people joining in the region — in line with EFG’s strategy to expand, particularly in greater China and Southeast Asia.
