Private banking pre-tax profits at HSBC’s
private bank were considerably ahead in the third quarter of 2010
compared to 2009, due to the non-recurrence of significant loan
impairment charges, the bank said.

In its latest interim statement, HSBC said its
year-to-date performance was mostly in line year-on-year as it
continued to attract net new money inflows, particularly from
emerging markets.

HSBC did not give updated assets under
management (AuM) figures for the thrid quarter, but for
the first half of 2010 it reported assets under
management of $354bn.

 

Nedbank bid scrapped

Meanwhile, after engaging in exclusive talks
for two months, the world’s sixth-largest private bank by
assets is reported to have pulled out of its
proposed 70% stake in South African group Nedbank.
