In November 2010, Bank Sarasin opened a
representative office in Abu Dhabi through its subsidiary Bank
Sarasin-Alpen, its seventh office in the Middle East and India.

Sarasin-Alpen also re-launched advisory
services in Bahrain in August 2010, a year after it cut short a
separate venture in the Gulf state.

The bank highlighted Singapore’s “sound
regulatory regime”, as well as its political and economic stability
as reasons for being one of the bank’s key financial services
centres and a base for the trust business.

Sarasin Trust is to be headed by Michael Low,
Asia head of trust and fiduciary services, and Ethan Chue, Asia
head of trust advisory.
