Highlights

In the UK, a number of private banks have started to expand their branch network during 2006. Coutts, Credit Suisse, and HSBC, for example, have all moved closer to their clients through regional offices. The situation is similar in Germany.

The booming economies of Asia are resulting in massive wealth creation and will continue to attract the interest of private banks worldwide. Prerequisite for the successful entry of international competitors is regulatory change and the modernization of local banking markets.

The staffing problem in wealth management will not abate across the globe. 2006 has again seen some of the key private banking competitors suffer losses of high profile staff. Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, and UBS, for example, have all been affected.
