Stars
APAC Wealth Management Growth
EFG International has expanded aggressively in Singapore and Hong Kong, targeting APAC private wealth where investable assets grew 9.8% in 2024 to USD 22.3 trillion (Capgemini 2024); EFG’s regional AUM rose ~18% YoY to CHF 12.4bn by Q3 2025, outpacing several European rivals. This APAC segment sits in the BCG Matrix high-growth, strong-position quadrant versus European competitors, driven by client inflows and cross-border mandates. To sustain momentum against DBS, HSBC and UBS, EFG must keep investing in talent—hiring 120 senior bankers in 2024 and budgeting CHF 60–80m for 2025–26 recruiting and retention.
ESG and Sustainable Mandates
Demand for sustainable investments among high-net-worth individuals rose sharply, with global ESG assets reaching $45 trillion in 2025 and HNW allocation up ~22% year-over-year, and EFG International captured a double-digit share of this niche through thematic ESG portfolios.
EFG’s ESG mandates now manage about $8.2 billion, driven by green bonds and climate-focused equities, and its specialized funds delivered a 7.1% annualized return over three years to 2025.
EFG allocates roughly 6.5% of AUM to R&D in sustainable finance—about $53 million annually—funding impact analytics, carbon-footprint tools, and green-alignment reporting to stay a leader in green finance.
Digital Banking Solutions
Digital Banking Solutions is a Star: EFG’s mobile app users rose 48% YoY to 210,000 in 2025, driven by a €45m three-year platform upgrade (2023–25); fintech features (API banking, robo-advice) lifted digital deposits +22% to €6.1bn, showing high growth and rising market share among clients aged 25–44.
Alternative Asset Advisory
EFG International Alternative Asset Advisory sits in the BCG Matrix as a star: private equity and hedge fund advisory fast-growing as UHNW clients seek 12–18% target returns outside public markets, and EFG reported 28% advisory revenue growth in 2024 vs 2023.
EFG’s edge: exclusive access to top-tier private deals via 120 dedicated specialists across 15 offices and $9.4bn private markets AUM as of Dec 31, 2024; keeping lead needs ongoing hiring and €40–60m annual reinvestment in teams and global relationships.
- High growth: advisory revenue +28% (2024)
- Scale: $9.4bn private markets AUM (Dec 31, 2024)
- Capacity: 120 specialists, 15 offices
- Investment: €40–60m annual reinvestment needed
Strategic UHNWI Partnerships
Targeting ultra-high-net-worth individuals via bespoke advisory is a high-growth revenue driver for EFG International; wealth management fee income from UHNW clients rose 18% in FY2024 to CHF 420m, reflecting strong demand for tailored solutions.
These clients need complex multi-jurisdictional services—tax, trust, and cross-border investment—where EFG has leading presence in Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Singapore, supporting CHF 12.5bn in UHNW assets under management at end-2024.
The segment is a Star in BCG terms: it generates rapid growth but consumes cash to scale global operations, with UHNW client onboarding and compliance capex of CHF 48m in 2024 to support expansion.
- Revenue growth: +18% FY2024 (CHF 420m)
- UHNW AUM: CHF 12.5bn (end-2024)
