In today’s webcast we talk to Mr Alexander Aebi, vice-president of the board of Swiss Benchmarking, a company that provides benchmarking services to banks. In the webcast Mr Aebi points out how important benchmarking is for top management to make the right strategic decisions for the future and also points to some significant findings over the last years.

Enjoy the full webcast:



General findings in Swiss private banking benchmarking that Mr Aebi outlines from data collected over the last few years include:

  • cost/income ratios have continuously decreased - a development that comes from the earnings side rather than the cost side
  • regarding the contributions to gross margins it is not possible to identify a trend - there are players with high business volume and low margins and players with low volumes and high margins
  • as to earnings per client vs. cost per client we can observe that banks with high earnings per client also have high costs per client
  • compensation per employee has continuously grown (including inflation), but has been compensated by efficiency
