EFG International said its assets under management rose 11% over the first four months of the year on net new assets, positive foreign exchange impacts and favorable market performance.

The Swiss private bank on Tuesday said its assets under management at the end of April stood at 157.5 billion Swiss francs ($172.38 billion), up from CHF142.2 billion at the end of 2023.

Net new assets for the period were CHF3.6 billion, representing an annualized growth rate of 7.6%, driven by the contribution of the new client relationship officers it hired the previous year.

The Zurich-based lender said net income was more than CHF110 million. It reported CHF303.2 million for 2023, which included over CHF90 million in the first quarter.

EFG said that its revenue margin for the January-to-April period was 96 basis points, a decline from 99 basis points for 2023 given a lower net interest income margin was partly offset by higher net banking and commission income margin.

At the end of the period, its common equity tier 1 ratio--a key measure of capital strength--was 17.4%, compared with 17.0% four months prior.

"Our strategy has been effective and we will continue to work towards our 2025 ambition of sustaining profitable growth and achieving scale," Chief Executive Giorgio Pradelli said.
