Assets under management or custody dropped to CHF420bn at 30 June 2015 from CHF435bn at 31 December 2014, as healthy net inflows were offset by foreign exchange and market effects.
The group’s core tier 1 capital ratio was 25.1% based on CHF2.6bn of Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1).
Pictet senior managing partner Jacques de Saussure said: "Despite the appreciation of the Swiss franc in the first half of 2015, all business categories contributed to the growth of revenues and profits during this period compared to the first-half of 2014."
