annual report
25.02.2008
Basel, 25 February 2008
Driven by very strong overall earnings momentum, net profit surged by
201% to CHF 305 million (2006: CHF 101 million) to reach a new 
record. Net profit 2007 adjusted by one-off proceeds comes to CHF 174
million (2006: CHF 141 million), an increase of 23%. The cost income 
ratio improves to 51.1%, or an adjusted figure of 63.0%.
Net new money inflow soared to CHF 11.1 billion. Despite the 
difficult market conditions in the second half of the year, new money
acquisition was still strong, at CHF 5.1 billion (1H 2007: CHF 6.0 
billion). Assets under Management grew by CHF 9.7 billion to CHF 83.0
billion (+13%).
On the strength of the excellent operating result and the favourable 
prospects for the business, the Board of Directors will be submitting
a proposal to the Annual General Meeting of shareholders on 23 April 
2008 to increase the dividend payable on each class B registered 
share by 50%, to CHF 135. With regard to the current share price this
corresponds to a yield of 2.7%. The Board of Directors would also 
like to improve the tradability of the share and will therefore 
submit a proposal to the Annual General Meeting requesting a 1 : 100 
share split. At this year´s AGM, Christoph Ammann, a member of the 
Board of Directors since 2002, will take over from Georg F. Krayer as
Chairman of the Board. A proposal will be made to the AGM of 23 April
2008 to make Georg F. Krayer Honorary Chairman of the Bank. A motion 
will also be submitted to elect Peter Derendinger to the Board of 
Directors.
Georg F. Krayer, Chairman of the Board of Bank Sarasin & Co. Ltd: 
"2007 was another excellent year for the Bank. Our net profit of CHF 
305 million and net new money growth of CHF 11.1 billion show that 
Bank Sarasin is more than capable of maintaining its strong track 
record. We can rely on an extremely competent management team who 
understands how to successfully exploit the global growth in private 
banking."
Joachim H. Straehle, CEO of Bank Sarasin & Co. Ltd: "We have achieved
an impressive performance in 2007 and demonstrated our determination 
to consistently pursue our growth strategy. Our clear positioning as 
an international Swiss private bank is paying off. We will not let up
in 2008, but continue to work hard at delivering our success story. 
We will prove that we are capable of sustaining this pace and 
achieving our goals."
