The Swiss regulator FINMA has closed its enforcement case against Julius Baer over the private debt loans and money-laundering failures. The bank has asked for approval of a share buyback, but all shareholder payments will need advanced approval by FINMA.
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.
Wealth management is becoming a crowded space with multiple new entrants that are putting pressure on margins.
