BHF-BANK is well positioned for the future with a client-focussed business model, broad income diversification and strict risk control. The sales power in Asset Management & Financial Services is to be enhanced and the product range further expanded. This has already involved an increase and realignment in capacities. The successful positioning in currency trading and the potential for innovation with derivatives and structured products will continue to form the basis for stable income in the Financial Markets division in the years to come.
As far as its business with corporate clients is concerned, BHF-BANK expects to generate additional growth from business with small and medium-sized owner-run companies, particularly with respect to issues such as succession planning, access to growth capital and the realignment of ownership structures. As far as Private Banking is concerned, BHF-BANK will continue to secure its strong market position with high-net-worth private clients in the current financial year. Furthermore, private client business will be targeting an increasingly international group of clients.
