Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Julius Baer is the largest publicly listed pure-play private bank. Its growth prospects and profitability are not diluted by other slow-growing, unprofitable or more risky business units. Most other listed private banks' shares suffer from low liquidity and are much smaller.

Bears

Wealth management is becoming a crowded space with multiple new entrants that are putting pressure on margins.

In 2009, Baer spun off GAM as a separately listed firm. The acquisition of Merrill Lynch's wealth management operations outside of the US in 2012 increased Baer's assets under management by 40% and increased its footprint outside of Europe. Julius Baer is currently the largest pure-play private bank globally Baer provides private banking services principally to individuals in Switzerland and Europe and increasingly in Asia and other emerging markets.
