EFG Posts Record Annual Figures Across the Board

Zurich-based EFG International registered record figures in profit, assets under management and more for 2025.

EFG International’s net profit rose 1 percent year-on-year to a record 325.2 million Swiss francs ($421 million) in 2025, according to the bank’s financial results.

Operating income increased 11 percent to 1.7 billion francs – also a record – on the back of higher net banking fee and commission income and other income, while operating expenses were up 6 percent to 1.2 billion francs. Excluding exceptional items and net contributions from the legacy life insurance, operating profit reached 425.1 million francs, representing the strongest growth rate in the last 2023-2025 strategic cycle at 18 percent.

All-Time High in AUM

The Swiss private bank also delivered record figures in assets under management, which increased 12 percent to hit an all-time high of 185 billion francs.

This was partly driven by 11.3 billion francs of net new assets (NNA) – the highest figure since the global financial crisis. By region, the Americas was the NNA leader at 3.3 billion francs, followed by Asia Pacific (3.2 billion francs), Switzerland and Italy (1.9 billion francs), Continental Europe and Middle East (1.6 billion francs) and the UK (1 billion francs). Other business units, including EFGAM funds, generated net inflows of 300 million francs.

2026 Outlook

According to EFG, it enters 2026 in a position of strength to achieve its targets for the newly announced 2026-2028 strategic cycle, which includes net profit growth of 15 percent and net new asset growth of 4-6 percent annually.

The bank said it has had a strong start to the year with high levels of client activity, though it expects macroeconomic headwinds, including a lower US dollar exchange rate and lower interest rates across major currencies. Following its latest acquisition of Quilvest, a Swiss pure-play private bank with an established Latin America footprint, EFG remains open to M&A opportunities.

«We are complementing our organic growth with a new series of acquisitions announced over the past 12 months. Including Quilvest, in January 2026, these transactions account for around CHF 16 billion in combined Assets under Management,» said EFG CEO Giorgio Pradelli. «We remain committed to creating value for our clients, shareholders and other stakeholders.»
