H1 2012 profit for HSBC’s Swiss private bank
fell by 4.1% year-on-year as a crackdown on tax evasion is
said to have hit margins with interest income also declining.
H1 2012 profits fell to CHF 187.8m ($197m)
compared to CHF195.8m in H1 2011.
Net inflows for HSBC Private Bank also stood
at CHF 6.6bn in H1 2012.
HSBC reportedly wants to change its target
client base from smaller, offshore clients to ultra-high net-worth
international and domestic customers.
This development, along with a review of
certain client relationships, is said to have resulted in a loss of
$1.7 billion of client assets in H1 2012.
