Assets under management at Bank of Singapore,
the private banking business of OCBC Group, soared by 20%
year-on-year to SGD$45bn ($36bn) in the first half of 2012.

Revenues in OCBC’s wealth management
activities received an 18% year-on-year boost to reach SGD$860m as
of 30 June 2012, while the contribution of wealth management
revenues to OCBC’s overall revenues remained at 26%
year-on-year.

During the first half of 2012, operating
profits in OCBC’s global consumer/private banking unit totalled
SGD$284m, a 12% year-on-year increase from the first half of
2011.

This growth reflects increases in net interest
income and fee income, although these were offset by higher
expenses and allowances, the bank said.
