KBL EUROPEAN PRIVATE BANKERS
GENERAL
S ince 2008, banks have been severe ly affected by the f inancia l cr is is . F i rst ly
in terms of income but more important ly i t has put f inancia l inst i tut ions into d i f f icu l ty in terms of the ir so lvency.
For KBL epb, 2011 ended with a prof i t of EUR 20.1 mi l l ion , a sat isfactory result g iven market effects and the state of a l l western economies th is year.
AuM show that our c l ients have reta ined the ir conf idence in us . We hold EUR 44.3 b i l l ion in c l ient investments , EUR 35.1 b i l l ion of which are for pr ivate banking c l ients , something which compares very favourably with many other market part ic ipants .
In short , we can be proud of a very strong balance sheet . Our credit r isk is wel l contro l led and smal l , we have a comfortable l iqu id i ty cushion, our investments are p laced with f i rst - rate inst i tut ions and, last but not least , we have a part icu lar ly h igh capita l adequacy rat io .
VERY HIGH SOLVENCY
The Core T ier 1 Rat io measures avai lab le own funds compared with the r isks to which a f inancia l inst i tut ion is exposed. The h igher the rat io , the greater the f inancia l strength of the inst i tut ion . Recent ly, regulators have sharply increased the ir min imum requirements in th is area , and today there is a common acceptance in f inancia l markets that i t should not fa l l be low the 10% mark . With a rat io of more than 16%, KBL epb isbone of the most so l id banks .
The Loan-to-Deposit Rat io i s the rat io of the loans extended by a f inancia l inst i tut ion to the depos i ts which i t co l lects . A rat io which is too h igh ( i .e . greater than 100%) suggests that the inst i tut ion might have d i f f icu l ty coping with withdrawals by i ts depos i tors in t imes of cr is is . With a rat io of less than 20% and with a substant ia l surplus of cash(a surplus of more than EUR 3 b i l l ion) ,KBL epb is in a very comfortable pos i t ion . b
