Private Banking and Wealth Management Survey 2010: Results revealed February 8

All change in global private banking

Private banking has traditionally been a slow-moving market, with banks gaining or losing market position incrementally. But the impact of the global financial crisis has led to some more dramatic developments, as: some of the largest global franchises have seen their reputations suffer; more leading international banks aim to beef up their wealth management offerings; independent private banks seize an opportunity to claw back market share; and local banks becoming more important players at regional and national level.

Among the highlights of the Private Banking and Wealth Management Survey, the results of which are revealed online at euromoney.com on February 8^th, are:

• Three positional changes within the world’s top five private banks;

• Two new entrants to the top 10 global rankings;

• Three new entrants to the top 20 global rankings;
