Vontobel well positioned for future growth

 

Vontobel drives growth through its core capabilities and well defined focus markets. The strong organic expansion of the last years is testimony to this.

 

To promote additional growth, Vontobel has defined a set of clear criteria for add-on acquisitions in Private Banking and Asset Management. In the context of its M&A strategy Vontobel currently entertains talks with Bank of New York Mellon (BNYM) about a possible takeover of Meriten Investment Management (Meriten), an asset manager in Germany. Vontobel could execute a possible transaction without tapping into any additional Tier I or Tier II capital.

 

All mid-term financial targets, dividend policy included, remain unchanged. Furthermore, the strong capital position of Vontobel will allow for additional non-organic growth across all business lines.
