"The successful realisation of our growth strategy, including the majority shareholding in Bank Linth LLB AG and our new organisational structure have strengthened our position in our target markets," commented Dr. Josef Fehr, Chairman of the LLB Board of Management. "This enabled us to gain ground in all our business areas", he continued.

LLB's core operations are focused on wealth management, private banking, asset management, fund services and trust services. First half results showed that client assets climbed by CHF10.1 billion in the six months to June 30, 2007. These were composed of net new money inflows of CHF1.4 billion, the majority shareholding in Bank Linth LLB AG of CHF5.0 billion, as well as performance-related appreciation of assets of CHF3.7 billion. High money inflows were recorded in particular from LLB's growth markets in Eastern Europe, as well as the Near and Middle East. LLB said that it also achieved above target growth in its traditional core markets. Assets in own managed funds rose strongly by 29.4% to CHF4.5 billion.

Assets with discretionary mandates expanded by 10.7% to CHF11.0 billion. Other assets under management amounted to CHF45.2 billion per 30 June 2007 (CHF37.2 billion per 31 December 2006).

Net fee and commission income again expanded and amounted to CHF151.4 million (+23.9 %). This rise highlighted the very positive trend with securities administration (+33.4 %), investment fund management (+21.3 %), and brokerage fees (+19.2 %), the bank announced.

The integration of Bank Linth LLB AG in the LLB Group is scheduled to be completed at the end of December 2007. Bank Linth LLB AG has contributed CHF 1.3 million to profit since March 2007.

"No adjustment will be made to our medium term goals regarding efficiency, profitability and new money inflow for the 2007 business year", added Dr. Fehr.

LLB Group said that it is confident about prospects for the second half of 2007, and it expects to achieve a good result for the full business year.
