The survey results refer to interviews with 100 senior executives in the private banking and wealth management industry, from 17 countries around the world.

Survey highlights:

  • majority confident about growth prospects (though less so than in previous years)


  • expectation of international consolidation


  • small banks more focused on organic growth; seem unconcerned about consolidation


  • lack of available acquisition targets, especially in Asia-Pacific


  • domestic deals prevail at 54 percent of deals undertaken by survey respondents in the past two years


  • China and India overwhelmingly cited the countries with greatest growth potential
