Ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 LR

Publié le 18.06.2021

After the first five months of the current financial year, Vontobel expects to post a higher profit in its half-year results compared to the same period of last year. This increase in profit mainly reflects a very high level of activity among Digital Investing clients in the structured products business. Driven by the further strengthening of client confidence, the continuous expansion of its product range, as well as increasingly efficient and targeted marketing activities, Vontobel has further grown its market share in the area of Digital Investing. It has acquired new clients in Switzerland, Germany and Hong Kong in particular.

In the business with institutional and wealth management clients, income generation during the first five months of the year was satisfactory. Vontobel’s good position in terms of income generation will enable it to continue making targeted investments in future growth areas.

Vontobel already pointed to this positive trend at its General Meeting of Shareholders in April 2021. This trend has continued in the months that followed. Vontobel is aware that depending on the market environment, it may not be able to maintain this positive trend on a linear basis over the full year.

Vontobel will publish its detailed results for the first half of 2021 on July 27, 2021.
