Methodology
The financial crisis and its reverberations have been felt dramatically across the private banking industry. The status quo has been altered and new leaders have emerged, as the Euromoney 2010 private banking poll reveals. Helen Avery reports.
Private clients have traditionally been seen as stable money. But 2008 proved that axiom doesn’t always hold, as private banks attached to investment banks discovered.
Private banks attached to investment banks have benefited from the access to balance sheet and innovative products that the relationship provides. But with Wall Street suffering dramatic losses as a result of sub-prime mortgage exposure, will that relationship be the private banks’ downfall? Helen Avery reports.
Private banks have never had it so good. Every region in the world offers a growth opportunity. Clients want an ever-increasing array of products and services. This leads to intense competition, evident in Euromoney’s latest annual private banking survey. But is further consolidation inevitable? Helen Avery reports.
Private banks are enjoying a period of growth as financial markets improve and global wealth increases. Long-term success will lie in offering a broader range of products linked to investment banking, while ensuring the high levels of service that clients now demand. Euromoney reports on the drivers of success in its annual survey.
Its high industry rankings suggest that UBS's bold drive to build a private banking business onshore across Europe is paying off. The bank soars above the competition according to our second annual survey. But the cost has been substantial. And there remain plenty of niches in which its rivals can excel and turn good profits. Helen Avery reports.
In the bull market it seemed that investment performance would determine the winners and losers in the fast-growing and newly transparent private wealth management industry. But what the wealthy most need is independent advice and
a sense of who is good at what. Euromoney surveys the best
providers. Peter Lee reports.
