ZURICH, Nov 10 (Reuters) – Swiss private bank Julius Baer (BAER.VX) said on Tuesday it continued to record healthy inflows across all regions but that net new money had been coming into the company at a slower pace due to a tax clampdown.
Baer, which split its core private bank and asset management operations into two separately listed companies last month, also said it was on course to close the buy of ING’s (ING.AS) Swiss private banking assets in the first quarter of 2010. [ID:nSIN287448][ID:nL1480209]
