Report Highlights
Wealth management faced its most difficult year for more than a decade in 2002. Private bank's assets under management and customer numbers fell. Costs and distribution channels were cut, and heads rolled from the bottom to the very top of private banking. Lloyds TSB, Coutts, Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs were amongst banks to change their heads of private banking in the search for a new direction in 2003.

Increasing legislative pressure made 2002 a particularly difficult year for offshore private banks. Smaller banks lost assets and may be open for acquisition, while larger players tried to maintain assets as customers repatriated them onshore.

2003 will prove another challenging year, but opportunities exist for smart operators. The downturn offers opportunities to acquire new staff and businesses cheaply. While asset management services will continue to prove difficult to sell, private banks can compensate by exploiting the boom in protection and alternative product groups.
