ASSET MAN AGE ME N T SU CC E SSFU LLY S PUN OFF

Notenstein Private Bank can look back on an

eventful and successful first six months of 2015, a

period which saw the implementation of several

growth-and-focus projects. In particular, the spin-off

of the asset management business to form the newly

established Notenstein Asset Management Ltd.

was completed on schedule. The new sister company

now brings together under one roof the asset

management boutiques of TCMG Asset Manage-

ment AG and the Asset Management and Institu-

tional Clients divisions of Notenstein Private

Bank. This means that, in the future, Notenstein

Private Bank will thus be able to operate as a

pure private bank and press ahead with the strength-

ening of its core business, wealth management.

INCRE ASE I N I N CO ME A N D PR O FI TABIL IT Y*

Despite a challenging market environment, assets

under management in the private banking business

held steady at CHF 16 billion, with overall client

assets amounting to CHF 20 billion. Notenstein's

impressive earnings power is reflected in commission

income, which increased year on year despite the

spin-off of the Asset Management and Institutional

Clients divisions. This spin-off also resulted in a

significant cost reduction of 12 percent. Since Noten-

stein Private Bank additionally secured a very

strong result in balance sheet management, the cost-

income ratio as at 30 June 2015 was substantially

lower, at 78 percent. This corresponds to an im-

provement of approximately 15 percentage points on

the first six months of 2014. At CHF 19.6 million,

gross profit has more than tripled within the space of

a year. Net profit amounted to CHF 15.5 million.

As at 30 June 2015, Notenstein Private Bank had

an extremely solid core capital ratio (tier 1) in excess

of 21 percent.

S TR ONG GR O W TH IN S TRUCTURED

INV ES TMENT PR ODUCT S

Notenstein began issuing its own structured invest-

ment products in spring 2013, and the addition

in 2014 of withholding-tax-exempt products via

Notenstein Finance (Guernsey) Limited marked an

extension to the product offering. The numbers

show that Notenstein has established itself success-

fully in this market and that there is significant

interest for its proprietary products. Uninterrupted

strong growth has been recorded for both prod-

ucts issued out of Switzerland and those issued via

the subsidiary. There are now more than 2,000

structured products outstanding – some of them

award-winners – with a volume of around CHF 1.5

billion.

FOCUS AND GR O W TH CONTINUES IN THE

S ECOND HALF OF THE YEAR

The outsourcing of the IT division as well as parts

of the Services division to Raiffeisen Switzerland and

Arizon Sourcing AG which was communicated in

March will be implemented as planned on a step-by-

step basis starting this autumn. The merger with

private bank La Roche & Co will also be completed

in the same period, increasing assets under man-

agement at the future Notenstein La Roche Private

Bank Ltd by around one-third. With its sharper

profile, Notenstein will thus continue to be ideally

equipped, even in an environment that remains

extremely challenging.

* The spin-off of the Institutional Clients and Asset Management divisions has been implemented retroactively to 1 January 2015. Consequently, a comparison of current figures with prior-year figures is only possible to a limited extent.

All amounts stated are rounded, which may lead to minor discrepancies in total amounts.

Assets under management includes all assets of private, corporate and institutional clients managed or held for investment purposes as well as assets in funds managed by

the bank. This essentially includes all amounts due to customers, fixed-term deposits and fiduciary deposits, as well as all valued assets including net values from outstanding

derivative financial instruments. Assets deposited with third parties are included in so far as they are managed by the bank.

Client assets are defined more broadly than assets under management and also include assets held solely for transaction and safekeeping purposes for which the bank

provides further services. Other banks' assets deposited with Notenstein Private Bank (on a "custody-only" basis) are not included in client assets.
