9.1.2020 02:32:05 CET | Business Wire | Press release
The rapidly expanding ZEDRA group has announced another key acquisition, this time in Singapore. The Group will acquire BNP Paribas Singapore Trust Corporation Limited, subject to regulatory approval. This new acquisition follows on from deals across the Isle of Man, Switzerland and Nordic markets signed and announced in 2019.
BNP Paribas Wealth Management’s trust business in Singapore serves the growing Asian ultra-high net worth and high net worth markets, with clients typically being families and entrepreneurs, making this latest deal an ideal fit for the ZEDRA group.
Announcing the acquisition, Ivo Hemelraad, CEO of Zedra said: “This latest deal will bring additional scale and expertise to our already fast growing Singapore office. The Asian markets are very important for ZEDRA and globally continue to represent one of the most productive sources of new high quality clients. I am delighted to welcome the staff and clients of BNP Paribas Singapore Trust Corporation Limited to the ZEDRA group.”
Arnaud Tellier, CEO of BNP Paribas Wealth Management Asia, said: “We are a leading Private Bank in Asia and remain committed to our core expertise in providing the best-in-class opportunities to our clients via our open architecture platform. We have over the years offered and advised our clients the best possible solutions for their trust needs leveraging on this open architecture platform and therefore see the transfer of this business activity being beneficial and in the interests of our clients”.
BNP Paribas Wealth Management will work with ZEDRA as a preferred partner for trust services while continuing to accompany all of its clients on their wealth management journeys, leveraging the firm’s best-in-class private banking platform and global reach.
Wendy Sim, Managing Director Zedra Singapore, stated: “I am very excited to welcome the BNP Paribas Singapore Trust Corporation Limited clients and staff to Zedra. As Zedra Singapore continues to expand its network and service capabilities, we look forward to meeting and working closely with BNP Paribas and their clients to achieve their legacy and succession planning aspirations for their families and their businesses as they grow and develop here in Asia”.
The deal will add to ZEDRA’s existing headcount of over 550 industry experts across 13 countries, spanning Asia, Oceania, the Americas and Europe. The acquisition will bring Zedra’s combined staff numbers in Singapore to 30.
Last year, ZEDRA announced a strategic partnership with Corsair Capital in which the private equity group is taking majority stake in the Group, a move planned to support ever more rapid growth for the ZEDRA brand.

HJS Foundation Releases JEP Protocol & HJS Framework: The "Black Box" for AI, Enabling Verifiable Human Oversight24.3.2026 04:36:00 CET | Press release
HJS Foundation (Human Judgment Systems Foundation) today released two complementary solutions: the Judgment Event Protocol (JEP) and the Human Judgment Structure (HJS) framework. As a minimalist open standard, JEP generates tamper-proof records of AI decision accountability, just like an aircraft black box; HJS embeds human judgment logic into AI operation processes — together, they transform "human oversight" from a regulatory requirement into a verifiable technical fact, providing an optional technical solution for AI accountability. How to prove that AI decisions (such as loan approvals, medical diagnoses, border screenings, etc.) have undergone human review? JEP generates immutable audit trails of human intervention through four cryptographic primitives — Judge, Verify, Delegate, Terminate; HJS builds a controllable and accountable system to prevent risks such as AI drift and ensure that human judgment guides AI operations. Current systems rely on alterable post-hoc documentation,
