AUM And Net New Money GrowthRecord AUM (CHF 521bn) and sustained net new money provide a durable fee base and scale benefits for wealth-management margins. Higher AUM supports recurring net fee income, cross‑sell opportunities and pricing power, underpinning predictable revenue over the next 2–6 months.
Capital And Liquidity StrengthA CET1 ratio of 17.4% together with very high LCR (≈261%) and improved RWAs provides a strong capital and liquidity buffer. This durable financial strength reduces regulatory and funding risk, enabling strategic investments, RM hiring and absorbing near‑term credit volatility.
Cost Discipline And Efficiency DeliveryExecution of structural cost savings (CHF130m delivered) and improved cost/income illustrate credible efficiency gains. Sustained savings and planned further programs enhance operating leverage, helping protect margins as revenue mix and investments evolve over multiple quarters.
