OREANDA-NEWS. In the first half of 2015, the LLB Group result improved to approximately CHF 44 million.

Despite the abandonment of the Euro minimum exchange rate and the introduction of negative interest rates by the Swiss National Bank, the LLB Group posted a good operating performance for the first half of 2015.

The amount due from clients remained steady at CHF 10.7 billion, while assets under management decreased from CHF 50.2 billion to CHF 45.0 billion as the result of the sale of swisspartners Investment Network AG and performance-related factors pertaining to the currency situation.
