Geneva (ots)

-

- Union Bancaire Privée, UBP SA (UBP) has announced a 10% year-on
  -year rise in its assets under management to CHF 87.7 billion (USD
  98.6 billion) as at 31 December 2013 (CHF 80 billion at the end of
  2012). 
- The Group's operating profit came to CHF 218.3 million (USD 245.5
  million), up more than 20% on the previous year, attesting to the
  business' good health. UBP's consolidated net profit came to CHF
  152 million (USD 171 million) after provisions (compared with CHF
  175 million at the end of 2012). 
- The increase in the operating result is attributable to net inflows
  of funds from private and institutional clients, as well as to
  sound asset management performances and to the effects of the post-
  acquisition synergies. 
- The Bank's financial base is sound, with a Tier 1 ratio of 29%,
  making it one of the best-capitalised Swiss banks. 

"In the midst of the industry's mutations and consolidations, UBP can rely on its sound client-acquisition strategy, its high-performance range of products and efficient services, and its teams' unwavering efforts to meet all its clients' needs", says Guy de Picciotto, UBP's CEO.

UBP's consolidated net profit came to CHF 152 million after provisions (13% lower than the CHF 175 million at the end of 2012). The operational integration of Lloyds having become effective on 1 November 2013, the synergies will come into effect over the first half of 2014.
