Bank Sarasin and AIG Private Bank set up a new bank catering to affluent clients Basel/Zurich, 9 July 2007 - The Swiss financial services industry is about to welcome a newcomer: a bank dedicated to providing clients with investment and savings solutions. Bank Sarasin & Co. Ltd and AIG Private Bank Ltd. plan to combine their direct business with affluent clients and their business with independent financial providers - but not with the external asset managers - to form a new bank. This new financial institution will initially have over 235,000 clients in Switzerland, Germany and Austria and will manage assets of approximately CHF 8 billion. The bank is due to start business by the end of 2008 at the latest, once the relevant approvals have been obtained from the Swiss Federal Banking Commission (SFBC).
