By GlobalDataAssets under management (AuM) in private banking and wealth management were at CHF 1.3trn in the second quarter of 2013 and 6.9% higher than the end of the second quarter of 2012. The growth was primarily driven by positive market movements and net new assets.
The bank said wealth management clients contributed net new assets of CHF7.5bn with continued strong inflows from emerging markets and from the UHNWI client segment, partially offset by continued outflows in Western Europe.
However, Aum slightly decreased 1.1% compared to the end of last quarter, as negative market movements and adverse foreign exchange-related movements were partially offset by solid net new assets, the bank said.
