Revised  Es)mates  of  Private  Banking  Assets  Under  Management  and  Total  Client  Assets

Key  results  aTer  adjustments  

•  Overall:  key  findings  remain  the  same  –  Total  size  of  top  50  offshore  client  assets  >$12.5  trillion  –  Strong  PB  asset  growth,  2005-­‐10:  nearly  10%/year  (tho  some  

ins)tu)ons  (Ci),  BankAmerica,  Commerzbank  fell  sharply)  –  Concentra)on  at  the  top  remains  high/  increased  during  this  

period  –  All  of  the  “new”  top  ten  except  Pictet  got  heavy  gov  subsidies  

during  this  period  –   Results  are  consistent  with  other  market  studies  (eg  Scorpio)  of  

PB  AUMS,  but  more  extensive,  more  targeted  on  “offshore,”    cognizant  of  “total  client  asset”  concept    

•  Just  as  in  the  case  of  BIS  data,  a  real  need  for  more  complete  repor)ng  by  FIs

Key  Addi)ons/  Correc)ons    •  Incorpora)on  of  revised  es)mates  for  several  key  ins)tu)ons,  based  on  more  recent  data  on  

offshore  AUMS  –  Goldman  Sachs:  clarifica)on  of  Direct+3rd  party  HNWI  AUMs  

–  UBS/  Credit  Suisse/  MorganStanley:    ability  to  exclude  domes)c  AUMs  (Swiss  and  US)+  accurate  data  on  total  client  assets  

–  Commerzbank  and  BankAmerica  –  exits  from  PB  businesses  revealed  beger  data  on  subsidiary  AUMs  

•  New  inclusion  of  data  on  “total  client  assets”  –  a  more  comprehensive  measure  of  offshore  assets  

•  Improved  adjustments  to  reported  global  AUM  data  to  correct  for  huge  role  that  “home  markets”  play  for  some  ins)tu)ons  (eg,  Wells  Fargo,  BankAmerica,  leading  Swiss  ins)tu)ons).    

•  Compared  to  alterna)ve  private  banking  industry  market  research  es)mates  (eg.,  Scorpio,  Private  Bank  Intl),  our  results  are  consistent  but  more  accurate  for  the  role  of  individual  players  –  so  far  as  the  “offshore  market”  is  concerned

Key  Challenges  •  Individual  banks  different  widely  in  their  repor)ng  prac)ces  and  

accoun)ng  defini)ons  –  Eg,  most  only  report  “assets  under  management”  rather  than  unmanaged  assets  

(deposits,  custody  assets,  brokerage  assets)  -­‐-­‐    “Ins)tu)onal”  assets  (pension  funds)  are  oTen  lumped  with  private  banking  assets  

–  important  error  source  -­‐-­‐  Defini)ons  of  “high  net  worth  individuals”  included  in  PB  assets  differ  among  

ins)tu)ons  -­‐-­‐  Treatment  of  so-­‐called  “third  party  HNWI  assets”  managed  on  behalf  of  smaller  

banks  (eg,  Goldman’s  “direct  HNWI”  PB  AUMs  in  2010  was  $229  b,  but  its  TOTAL  HNWI  AUMs,  including  3rd  party,  is  $294  b)  

-­‐-­‐  Important  to  adjust  AUMs  for  fact  that  Total  Client  Assets  (including  deposits,  custody  assets,  unmanaged  brokerage  assets  is  50-­‐90%  greater  than  AUMS;  varies  by  ins)tu)on
