UBS continued its strong recovery in the first
quarter recording a 2% gain from its 2010 year-end results in
invested assets to CHF1.49trn ($1.7trn).

Net new money inflows amounted to
almost CHF15bn as of 31 March, a dramatic turnaround from the
CHF15bn outflows from the first quarter results a year ago.

UBS’s first quarter results also showed that
its Asia-Pacific wealth management (WM) business, with CHF173bn in
invested assets, now contributes more to its invested assets
portfolio than its home market in Switzerland, where invested
assets totalled CHF171bn as of 31 March.

 

Back on track

The positive results indicate that UBS’s
long-awaited resurgence looks to be on track with promising
performance indicators highlighted by the Swiss bank, especially in
the US.
