Julius Baer: profit surge, FINMA case ends, buyback launched

First-half profit more than doubles on strong inflows Julius Baer's first-half profit jumped 128% to SFr673m, with net new money of SFr5.7bn and assets under management up 5% to SFr547bn. This shows the core wealth business is growing and recovering from last year's losses, supporting the share price.
It shows the bank's underlying earnings power and client demand, a key positive driver for the stock.
Dubai and India partnerships expand wealth management reach Julius Baer partnered with Dubai's DET to attract global investors and family offices, and co-authored research projecting Indian family office assets to grow 1.5x in three years. These moves open new markets and should bring in more client money over time.
They show the bank actively expanding its client base in fast-growing wealth regions, supporting future inflows.
FINMA orders extra capital over serious AML breaches Swiss regulator FINMA found serious risk-management and anti-money-laundering failures, including a SFr586m write-off and links to Russian politically exposed persons. It ordered Julius Baer to hold an extra SFr250m in capital, a regulatory hit that weighed on the stock.
It is the key regulatory setback that created uncertainty and a capital burden for the bank.
FINMA case ends, analysts upgrade, buyback approved FINMA ended its enforcement action, relaxing restrictions on new business and capital. Morgan Stanley upgraded to equal-weight (target CHF81), other banks raised targets, and Julius Baer approved a buyback of up to CHF600m. This removes a major overhang and returns capital to shareholders.
It marks the resolution of the regulatory crisis and a direct boost to shareholder returns, driving the stock higher.

Partners Group: strong fundraising and new retail access offset persistent open-ended fund outflows

Open-ended fund outflows to persist, capping asset growth Partners Group said redemptions from its open-ended funds will likely continue for several quarters, potentially slowing asset growth by 1-2% over 18 months and cutting fee income. In a worst case, outflows could reach $10-20 billion. This weighs on the shares because it limits future earnings growth.
This is the main drag on the stock and a fresh company-specific warning about future growth.
Infrastructure secondaries program closes above $5.5 billion Partners Group raised over $5.5 billion for infrastructure secondaries, with new clients providing more than 70% of the money. This shows strong investor demand and expands its fee-earning asset base, supporting future management fees and earnings, which is positive for the stock.
It is a concrete, large fundraising win that directly boosts future fee income.
Revolut opens private market funds to individual investors Revolut now offers Partners Group private market funds to eligible European retail customers under ELTIF 2.0. This widens the pool of potential investors beyond institutions, which can support future fundraising and fee growth, a positive for the shares.
It opens a new distribution channel that could add demand for Partners Group products.
$250 million aviation leasing investment deploys capital Partners Group invested $250 million as sole lead investor in an aviation leasing continuation vehicle worth about $360 million. This puts client money to work in a portfolio with contracted cash flows, which can generate returns and fees, supporting the stock.
It shows active deployment of capital into a real asset with steady income, a positive for earnings.
