No. 3 Investment Advisor
The Investment Advisor is more a portfolio advisor than a trader. A strong advocator for traditional portfolio investments and preaches about asset allocation and tactical allocation.
The key word is tactical allocation. Tactical allocation involves looking at short-term investment opportunities. How are these investment insights & opportunities be turned into investment action in the short-term?
Through trading, the Investment Advisor takes on an active role to invest a fraction of the portfolio into any sector and ideas that will move within a short period of time.
The value of investment for long-term trades is large, while the value of short-term trades is much lower. That changes when leverage or gearing are used in the short-term.

Due to the complex financial needs, the Private Banker takes on any kind of trades and also sophisticated trades for clients with support from Treasury Advisor and Investment Advisor.

No. 5 Priority Banker
A Priority Banker manages money for affluent clients. Affluent clients are clients with increasing and accumulating wealth. Due to their growing wealth, they are now given opportunities in more investment options than the typical retail clients.
Here comes the trading action for the Priority Banker. Given that the client is likely new to many financial instruments, the Priority Banker will have to act as the educator and trading advisor to client.
Like most investors, most clients prefer short holding period and hopefully, high returns that is reasonable. Though that is a tall order to match, it is possible with the range of financial instruments available in Priority Banking.
The most common trades are Equity Linked Notes (Stocks + Options) and Currency Linked Notes (Currency + Option).
