1 Practitioners of the craft of private banking United Kingdom 1

2 EFG Private Bank We are a UK-based private bank that provides high quality advice and service to wealthy individuals and their families. Private banking is our raison d être, and we place clients at the heart of everything we do. A private bank unlike any other Continuity You may be an experienced investor; alternatively, you may lack the time, knowledge or inclination to manage all aspects of your financial affairs. Regardless, our experienced and professional private bankers can develop the right approach for you. EFG appeals to some of the most experienced private bankers in the industry, thanks to the flexibility they have to act in your best interests. You can depend on their long-term commitment to work with you. We know that the best business relationships flourish when based on trust that has been allowed to develop over time. This is the foundation of our business and we leave no stone unturned to achieve it. To us, it comes down to three important elements continuity, consistency and choice.

3 Consistency Choice We aim to build personal wealth management strategies based on a deep understanding of who you are your current needs and your future ambitions. By leaving your private banker in place to build a long-term relationship we ensure consistency and an appreciation of your affairs which can span generations. Your private banker will know you better than anyone in our organisation, so they are best placed to meet your needs. They can draw upon the most suitable products and services available in the market, rather than a limited range of in-house investments. 03

6 You and your private banker Our private bankers serve a range of clients: individuals, companies, trusts and family offices, both onshore and offshore. We strive to develop long-term, advice-led relationships with all our clients. The result: relevant, innovative, and carefully considered wealth management solutions. EFG s approach has always been simple: every client has a dedicated private banker with one overriding goal the client s financial wellbeing. To achieve this, we have freed our private bankers from the pressures of budgets and sales targets. We know they cannot build the right wealth strategy for you if they are under pressure to sell certain financial products so all our private bankers are free to find the most suitable products for you from across the market. If we cannot help you directly, we will tap into our network of high quality intermediaries to quickly find the right solution. Our private bankers are used to working with external professionals and will be happy to work closely with your own financial, legal and tax advisers giving you a seamless private banking experience. Your relationship with your private banker comes before anything else at EFG Private Bank. Whether you need to manage your wealth across different jurisdictions, access trust company expertise or secure a loan at short notice, your private banker has the flexibility to deliver results for you in a professional and efficient way. 06

7 A service you deserve Our service is predicated on the belief that all clients have varied needs and require individual attention. We operate an open architecture platform, which means that our private bankers enjoy the freedom, within a controlled environment, to recommend the most approp riate investments to you available in the market. We help you achieve your goals by managing and protecting your wealth. There is no such thing as a typical day for our private bankers, because you have multi-faceted needs. Whatever your needs, your private banker will always be on hand to act with your best interests at heart. 07

8 Our range of services We offer a wide range of products and services: asset management, banking and treasury, credit, financial planning, and trust and corporate solutions. 08

9 Asset Management Banking & Treasury A dedicated portfolio manager is available to work closely with you and your private banker to give you high- quality investment advice.

Our banking facilities include current accounts, credit cards, and deposits.

We offer a range of financing facilities which can be used to help construct an investment portfolio. These are secured by diversified portfolios of liquid and marketable collateral. We also offer a range of mortgage and property finance solutions for periods of up to five years. Predominantly we will lend against UK residential real estate in the Greater London area, as well as certain other select regions. We have the ability to arrange property finance in other exclusive European locations. The main types of credit facility which we can provide are overdrafts, fixed-term loans and bridging loans to finance the funding gap between asset purchases and sales.
