Swiss Private Banking: Industry Evolution and Strategic Change

Since the outburst of the recent financial crisis, Swiss private banking has entered an intense transformation period. Regulatory shocks, volatile capital markets, changing client needs and stiffening competition are forcing the industry into a far reaching overhaul of its internal structure, its population size, as well as the business models it hosts. For individual banks, the time for innovation has arrived; with an agenda that is outspokenly challenging, but at the same time holding great promise for the banks that master the innovation challenge.

This project seeks to understand the current dynamics of success and to provide industry participants with guidance in this critical phase of industry evolution. The project (a) monitors and descriptively lays out the 'hard facts' of industry performance and evolution, and (b) provides empirical and theoretical insights on how to master the challenges at the firm-level.
