2011
The bank’s AWM arm had targeted pre-tax income
of €1bn in 2011, but abandoned it in October having achieved only
€400m for the first two quarters.
During the fourth quarter 2011, invested
assets in PWM increased by €5bn, mainly driven by foreign currency
movements, Deutsche Bank said.
From a full-year perspective, PWM’s invested
assets dropped €7bn. The decline in PWM included an impact of €13bn
due to market depreciation, partly offset by €4bn in net new
assets, mainly in Asia and Germany.
The cost-income ratio for Deutsche’s AWM
division dropped 15% in 2011 when compared to 2010.
