Lombard Odier’s assets under management (AuM) stood at CHF 215 billion at end-December 2024, up 12% year-on-year, lifted by positive net new money and strong investment performance. Overall, at end-December 2024, the Group had total client assets of CHF 327 billion compared to CHF 296 billion at the end of 2023 (+11% year-on-year).
Full-year operating income stood at CHF 1,337 million, down 5% year-on-year, largely driven by a 33% decline in net interest income, reflecting the decrease in the interest rate environment and increase in cost of deposits. Operating expenses remained flat at CHF 1,112 million, while the Group continued its significant investment programme in infrastructure and talent, and is incurring additional costs linked to the upcoming move to its new headquarters. Full-year net profit therefore stood at CHF 179 million, down 19% year-on-year.

Lombard Odier’s balance sheet remains strong, liquid and conservatively invested, and totalled CHF 14 billion at end-December 2024. The Group has a significant equity base. As of 31 December 2024, its CET1 ratio was among the highest in the industry at 32% and more than double that required by the regulator. Fitch reaffirmed the Group’s credit rating at AA- with a stable outlook in July 2024.

Global macroeconomic fundamentals remain solid, even as the US economy slows from above-trend levels. We judge recession risks to be low as the global rate-cutting cycle gathers pace. As major central banks continue to shift rates from restrictive to neutral territory in 2025, growth should revert to longer-term trend levels. Political and geopolitical risks will remain key to monitor, the new US administration’s policies on trade, immigration, and international relations in particular, with the threat of US tariffs a wild card for the global economy.
