1. Global Results

Private Banking assets under management (AuM) in Luxembourg rose by 3% compared to the previous year, reaching €361Bln. This evolution confirms the general trend anticipated by the PBGL witnessing a consolidation of the sector at a respectable level with AuMs now standing at 35% above the level reached before the financial crisis in 2008. Decrease in revenues (main factors): smaller clients are historically more profitable than wealthier clients. This erosion effect is further reinforced in a context of low - respectively negative - interest rate levels, combined with a marked increase of operating costs essentially due to the need to comply with a sustained flow of complex (and often interconnected) regulatory changes. ROA down 4% compared to 2015 Totaling almost 7,000 employees at the end of 2016, the number of staff employed in Private Banking has slightly increased by 1.9% after two consecutive years of contraction, compared to the overall increase of 0.5% for the banking sector.

3. Evolution of Geographic Origin of Client Assets

In addition, the industry is expanding its geographical scope within the EU countries, today representing the core market (60% of total AuMs), as well as within the rest of Europe (Switzerland and non-EU European countries with respectively 10% and 9% of AuMs) and beyond Europe (for instance Latin America and the Middle East).
