More hiring helps Julius Baer record highest inflows since financial crisis

Zurich

JULIUS Baer had its most successful six months of attracting new assets from wealthy clients since the financial crisis, it said on Monday, boosted by a recent push to recruit more private bankers.

After making a string of acquisitions to grow its business in recent years, Switzerland's third-largest private bank hired more than 100 bankers in 2016 to help gain new clients.
