“These strong results reflect the strengths of our business model and our commitment to excellent client service,” Senior Managing Partner Patrick Odier said in a statement.

“We have prudently managed our client portfolios, generating strong investment performance while attracting significant net new money.”

Total client assets rose 11% from end-2020 to 352 billion Swiss francs ($384.15 billion), an increase the unlisted lender said was supported by “strong” client inflows without providing figures, as well as the boons that wealth and asset managers have seen from rising markets that have helped them generate more fees off the investments they manage.

Consolidated net profit was up at 143 million francs, while operating profit rose 6% year-on-year to 717 million francs.
