Key performance indicators
Key performance indicators

The pre-goodwill cost / income ratio was at a record low of 59.9% in second quarter 2005, down from 60.6% in first quarter 2005. The improvement was driven by the decline in incentive-based compensation largely reflecting lower performance-based fees in second quarter 2005.

Institutional

Institutional invested assets were CHF 396 billion on 30 June 2005, up by CHF 30 billion from 31 March 2005. The gain reflected net new money inflows, higher financial market valuations and positive currency impacts from the weakening of the Swiss franc against most major currencies, particularly the US and Canadian dollars and UK sterling. Effective 1 April 2005, CHF 3.3 billion in invested assets related to the acquisition of the Siemens real estate fund business were included in institutional invested assets.

Net new money in second quarter 2005 was CHF 2.7 billion, compared with CHF 5.1 billion in first quarter 2005, with the decline reflecting money market outflows. Excluding movements related to money market funds, net new money was CHF 4.2 billion, unchanged compared to first quarter. Major inflows were reported in fixed income mandates as well as into alternative investments.

The gross margin was 29 basis points in second quarter 2005, a decrease of 5 basis points from last quarter. This reflects lower performance fees earned, particularly in alternative investments.

Wholesale intermediary

Invested assets increased in second quarter 2005 to CHF 290 billion, up by CHF 21 billion from 31 March 2005, reflecting strong net new money inflows, positive market performance and currency impacts.

Net new money was CHF 6.2 billion in second quarter 2005, up from CHF 4.7 billion in first quarter 2005. This reflects the continued focus on new products such as global asset allocation and sector funds, which continue to attract new investment from clients. Excluding money market outflows, net new money was CHF 10.7 billion, compared to CHF 7.2 billion in first quarter. The main drivers were strong inflows into equity funds and asset allocation funds in Europe and the Americas.

The gross margin was 39 basis points in second quarter 2005, a decrease of 2 basis points, due to lower performance fees on alternative funds.
