Wealth Management Americas

The pre-tax result for Wealth Management Americas improved significantly to a profit of CHF 110 million from a loss of CHF 221 million. Excluding restructuring charges of CHF 1 million in the third quarter and CHF 152 million in the second quarter, the pre-tax result would have improved to CHF 111 million from negative CHF 69 million in the prior quarter. The positive turn in results was driven by reduced operating expenses, resulting from cost control efforts, a credit of CHF 36 million for the over-accrual of financial advisor deferred compensation awards, and an increase in operating income. In addition, non-financial advisor staff levels were reduced 4% during the quarter, with reductions totaling 14% during 2009.

Global Asset Management

Global Asset Management’s pre-tax profit rose to CHF 130 million from CHF 82 million. The increase was primarily due to higher performance fees, mainly in alternative and quantitative investments, and higher management fees driven by a higher average invested assets base.
