Swiss banks are failing to focus on performance
Financial Times 4/26/2003
Sir, "Fast. Efficient. Friendly" was
the slogan of one of the larger Swiss banks ("Alps provide no shelter for
Switzerland's private banks", April 24) in the late 1980s. No mention of
"Performance. Reliable. Mistake-free." The big criticism of Swiss private
banking (and that of neighbouring German and French banks) is that management
failed - and often continues to fail - to focus on what a client pays the
bank for: performance.

Re "2003 Top Wealth Managers in the United States," Your
list is nice, free advertising for the companies mentioned. However, the
measure of "assets under management" is a very poor criterion by which to
evaluate the quality of a wealth-management firm.
