<strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>20</strong>10 on <strong>Form</strong> <strong>20</strong>-F 05 – Business Segments and Related Information<br />

wealth management and private and business client activities. Within PCAM, the Group manages these<br />

Clients (PBC).<br />

— AWM is composed of the business divisions Asset Management (AM), which focuses on managing assets<br />

on behalf of institutional clients and providing mutual funds and other retail investment vehicles, and Private<br />

Wealth Management (PWM), which focuses on the specific needs of high net worth clients, their families<br />

and selected institutions.<br />

— PBC serves retail and affluent clients as well as small corporate customers with a full range of retail banking<br />

products.<br />

Corporate Investments (CI), which manages certain alternative assets of the Group and other debt and equity<br />

positions.<br />

acquisitions and divestitures.<br />
