Chairman’s Statement

At the start of 2009, the world’s financial markets were still

feeling the effects of the global crisis, which had spread

from the financial sector to broad swathes of the global

economy in 2008. The markets remained volatile during

the year: the FTSE All-Share Index gained 30.66% and the

MSCI World Index increased by 30.81%.

As in 2008, market volatility formed a key variable influ-

encing earnings in the banking sector. Many investors re-

mained uncertain in 2009 and continued to favour liquidity.

Schroder & Co Bank AG’s net income fell by 40% from

CHF 31.1 million in 2008 to CHF 18.8 million in 2009. This

fall in earnings was due to two factors: commission in-

come decreased due to the adverse market situation and

interest income was also down as rates reached unpre-

cedented lows.

The Board of Directors is proposing to the General Meet-

ing the distribution of an ordinary dividend of CHF 16 mil-

lion (previous year: CHF 22 million). It is also proposing

that CHF 1.3 million (previous year: CHF 1.9 million) be

allocated to the general statutory reserve and CHF 1.4 mil-

lion (previous year: CHF 7.3 million) to other reserves. As a

result, the Bank’s reported equity capital after payment of

the dividend will stand at CHF 130.2 million (previous year:

CHF 127.5 million).

Schroders in Switzerland took an important step by separ-

ating the two business areas of Private Banking and Insti-

tutional Asset Management and Fund Distribution into two

operational and formally independent units, thus enabling

each area to focus on its core business.

There has also been a new appointment to the Board of

Directors. Markus Rütimann, Chief Operating Officer of

the Schroder Group, joined the Board of Directors on 14

September 2009.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank all

our clients for the trust they have placed in us. I would also

like to express my gratitude towards all our employees.

Philip Mallinckrodt, Chairman of the Board of Directors

Executive Board’s Statement

The revenues of Schroder & Co Bank AG fell by 20% in

2009, which was due to lower commission and inter-

est income. The commission business suffered from the

volatile market situation and investors maintaining their

penchant for liquidity. Commission income thus amounted

to CHF 61 million, 25% lower than in the previous year. In-

terest rates also hit historic lows in 2009; the Bank’s inter-

est income fell by 35% to CHF 9.7 million. Increased client

liquidity explains the marked rise in Schroder & Co Bank

AG’s total assets to CHF 1.6 billion. The amount due to

clients rose from CHF 516 million in 2008 to CHF 1.2 billion

in the reporting year.

On a more positive note, the trading result improved, albeit

slightly, primarily due to the gratifying securities trading

profit. There were no losses on securities.

Developments on the cost side were also positive. Oper-

ating expenses fell from CHF 76.3 million in the previous

year to CHF 70.1 million in 2009. This was mainly due to

lower personnel expenses during the year. Other operating

expenses were also lower than in 2008, as the strategy of

merging in-house banking services created further syn-

ergies. Nevertheless, lower costs were unable to entirely

offset the fall in revenues. Net income for Schroder & Co

Bank AG amounted to CHF 18.8 million (versus CHF 31.1

million in the previous year).

Difficult market conditions had a substantial impact on

daily business. Nevertheless, the Bank was still able to

benefit from the fundamentals that it has nurtured over the

years. The Bank’s longstanding conservative investment

strategies played a big role in bolstering client confidence,

leading to an increase in the volume of assets under man-

agement. This is a clear indication that Schroder & Co

Bank AG enjoys many opportunities in the Swiss market.

The long-term strategy of extending the profile of

Schroders Private Banking in the Swiss market will be

maintained. The ongoing recruitment in Zurich and Geneva

will strengthen Schroders’ market position in Switzerland

and bring long-term benefits. We are convinced that ex-

tending and adding value to our services will raise our pro-

file with our target client segment, thus generating more

client assets.

8 In 2009 the necessary preparations were made to sep-

arate the institutional asset management from the private

client business. This step was completed on 1 January

2010. The institutional business and fund distribution were

incorporated into the former Swiss Re Asset Management

Funds (Switzerland) AG (acquired in 2008) now known

as Schroder Investment Management (Switzerland) AG,

which employs about 30 staff. We have every confidence

that this strategy of having two independently operating

companies focusing on their core businesses is in the best

interest of both areas.

The composition of the Executive Board also changed.

Jean-Jacques Hunziker, Head of Legal & Compliance

and Michael Kiepert, Head of Banking, Treasury and Risk

both joined the Executive Board on 17 September 2009.

Stephen Mills, CEO of the new Schroder Investment Man-

agement (Switzerland) AG, left the Executive Board of

Schroder & Co Bank AG on 31 December 2009. We would

like to thank Mr Mills for his contribution and wish him

every success in his new position.

Private Banking

In spite of the volatile state of the markets, we continued

to expand our teams in Zurich and Geneva in 2009.

Private clients’ assets under management increased by

7.5% to CHF 7.3 billion, despite a small net money outflow

of CHF 60.2 million. Earnings from commission business

fell due to clients’ strong preference for liquidity during the

year, which caused the volume of stock market transac-

tions to go down. Interest income suffered from historically

low interest rates, while trading business was slightly posi-

tive.

Institutional Asset Management

and Fund Distribution

This division covers all aspects of fund management, the

administration and management of institutional assets, as

well as the distribution of Schroder funds domiciled in Lux-

embourg. On 1 January 2010, the division was transferred

to the new Schroder Investment Management (Switzer-

land) AG, which arose from the acquisition of the former

Swiss Re Asset Management Funds (Switzerland) AG. As

an independent company it now has an extremely com-

petitive product and services portfolio, which will enable it

to bring more vigour to developing its Swiss operations.

9Service Centre Private Banking

The in-house Service Centre Private Banking enjoyed

a successful year. It provided CHF 14.6 million worth of

operational, IT and financial services for Schroder com-

panies in Guernsey, London and Switzerland. It is foreseen

that later this year, the Service Centre Private Banking will

also assume tasks for another Schroder Group entity. The

Service Centre Private Banking provides custody services

for Schroder Investment Management (Switzerland) AG

and thus has an important interface function between the

two operational units in Switzerland.

1. Comments on Business Activ it ies

General

Schroder & Co Bank AG is a wholly-owned subsidiary of

Schroders plc, London. In addition to the head office in

Zurich the Bank has a branch office in Geneva.

The business activities of the Bank are described below.

There are no further business activities that would signifi-

cantly impact the Bank’s risk and income situation.

Fee and commission business

The Bank’s principal line of business is investment man-

agement for both domestic and foreign clients.

Asset management, trustee, custodian and credit opera-

tions are the main contributors to commission and service

fee revenues.

Banking activities

The Bank’s main balance sheet activities are the client-

lending business and interbank operations.

Loans to clients are mainly granted on the basis of Lom-

bard coverage.

Trading activities

Trading comprises mainly trading for the accounts of

clients in interest rate products, securities and foreign ex-

change, and to a limited extent proprietary trading.

Service Centre – Insourcing business

The Service Centre Private Banking renders securities

administration, funds transfer, accounting and IT services

centrally. These services are being offered to other Schro-

der Group companies (currently Schroder & Co. Limited,

London, Schroders (C.I.) Limited, Guernsey and Schroder

Investment Management (Switzerland) AG, Zurich). These

services are charged at market rates.

Risk management

Risk assessment

The Board of Directors re-assesses the Bank’s risks each

year (in particular with respect to credit, market, liquidity

and operational risks). The effectiveness of the limit sys-

tem and the controls are also evaluated. The Organisation

and Management Regulations ensure that the Board of Di-

rectors is always adequately informed of the risk situation

and that the authority for decisions in this area remains in

the Board of Directors’ responsibility.

Schroder & Co Bank AG | Annual Repor t 2009

17Details on risk management

The risk management procedures and the ongoing moni-

toring are delegated to committees. The Asset & Liability

Management Committee is responsible for monitoring

market risk, interest rate risk and liquidity. This includes

the selection and monitoring of banks, brokers and custo-

dians. In addition it monitors the adherence to the capital

and large exposure regulations.

The interest rate risks arising from the balance sheet and

off balance sheet positions are monitored and managed

centrally. They are managed using calculations of the net

present value effect on shareholders’ equity and the net

income effect under various interest rate assumptions. The

ability to meet obligations is monitored and ensured within

the framework defined in the bank law and by the Group.

Operational risks are managed through internal organisa-

tion and control procedures. Internal audit regularly audits

the internal controls and issues reports to the Board of

Directors.

The credit risks are subject to specific monitoring by the

Credit Committee and the Credit Department. Loan collat-

eral is valued at market value. The collateral rates are set

forth in predefined procedures.

2. Pr incipal Accounting Policies and Valuation Pr inciples

Basis of preparation

The accounts are prepared in accordance with the Swiss

Code of Obligations, the Swiss Federal Law Governing

Banks and Savings Banks, including the implementing

ordinances, directives, and the Swiss Financial Market Su-

pervisory Authority’s (FINMA) regulations and directives.

All transactions are recorded in the Bank’s books at the

trade date and valued from that date for the profit and loss

account. Money market and foreign exchange transactions

are reported off balance sheet until the settlement date.

From the settlement date, these transactions are included

in the balance sheet.

Business risks are covered by adequate value adjustments

and provisions.

Detailed principles

The most important accounting policies and valuation

principles are shown below.

Liquid assets, receivables from banks and liabilities

These items are stated in the balance sheet at their nomi-

nal value or at cost less any individual valuation adjust-

ments required for impaired assets.

Loans

Impaired loans, i.e. loans that are unlikely to be repaid by

the debtor, are valued individually. A specific provision is

made for the estimated shortfall against nominal value in

capital and interest. Off balance sheet exposure, such as

commitments, guarantees or derivative instruments, is

also taken into consideration for this valuation. Loans are

considered as impaired at the latest when the contractual

payments for capital and/or interest are overdue for more

than 90 days. Interest accrual is suspended if recover-

ing interest is so unlikely that an accrual no longer makes

sense.

If an outstanding loan is classified as entirely or partially ir-

recoverable or if a renunciation of outstandings is granted,

the outstanding loan is written off by debiting the respec-

tive loss provision.

Troubled loans are reclassified as being of full value when

outstanding amounts of capital and interest are again paid

on time according to the conditions fixed by contract.

Securities and precious metals trading portfolio

Actively traded positions which are either traded on a

recognised stock exchange or for which a representa-

21tive market exists are valued at market value. Refinancing

costs are charged against trading income. All other trading

positions are valued at the lower of cost or net realisable

value.

Financial investments

Securities held to generate income in the medium term are

valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Realised

profits or losses from sales of these securities are included

within “Results from the sale of financial investments”.

Unrealised profits or losses are included within “Other or-

dinary income” or “Other ordinary expenses”. Debt securi-

ties to be held until maturity are valued at cost. Any pre-

mium or discount ist amortized over the life of the security.

Precious metals are valued at market value.

Participations

Participations are stated at cost, less any impairment.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are valued at cost, less accumulated

depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-

line method based on useful life.

The recoverability is reconsidered each year. Should the

useful life change or the value decrease upon reconsider-

ing the recoverability, the remaining book value will be

depreciated according to the revised plan, or an extraor-

dinary depreciation can be made. In accordance with tax

regulations smaller items may be charged directly to the

profit and loss account.

Useful life of the various fixed assets

Information technology (hardware and software): 3 years.

Cars: 4 years.

Foreign currencies

Foreign currency transactions are translated at the average

exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. Foreign

exchange positions in the balance sheet are translated

at the average exchange rates at the balance sheet date

and taken to the profit and loss account. Forward foreign

exchange transactions are valued at the forward market

rates ruling at the balance sheet date. The valuation result

is taken to the profit and loss account.

The main conversion rates applied are listed below:

22 Valuation adjustments and provisions

Based on the principle of prudence, the Bank establishes

valuation adjustments and provisions within liabilities for

contingent risks. The valuation adjustments and provisions

may contain undisclosed reserves.

Taxes

Current tax is generally tax on profit and recurs on an

annual basis. One-off or transaction taxes are not consid-

ered as current tax.

Current tax on earnings is included as expense of the pe-

riod in which the earnings are recognised. Tax liabilities are

shown under “Accrued expenses and deferred income”.

Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments are used by the Bank for

asset and liability management and for securities and for-

eign exchange dealing. They are used both for proprietary

trading and for trading for the accounts of clients. Valu-

ation is in accordance with the purposes for which they

were originally acquired.

1. Derivative trading positions

These derivatives are marked to market. Positive and

negative replacement values are included within “Other

assets” or “Other liabilities”. Profits and losses are in-

cluded within “Result from trading operations”.

2. Derivative financial investments

These derivatives are acquired by the Bank instead of

direct investments. In accordance with the account-

ing policy for financial investments, these positions are

valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Any

interest income components are included within “Inter-

est and dividend income from financial investments”.

Realised profits or losses are included within “Result

from the sale of financial investments”.

3. Derivatives for hedging purposes

Derivative transactions concluded for hedging purposes

are valued and booked on a basis consistent with the

underlying transactions.

Liabilities to own pension plans

The employees of Schroder & Co Bank AG benefit from

two defined contribution pension plans. The “BVG Stif-

tung” grants at least the benefits mandatory by law. The

“Vorsorgestiftung” of Schroder & Co Bank AG grants ben-

efits for that part of the salary above the limit of the BVG

law. The employer’s contributions according to the defined

contribution pension plans are included within “Personnel

expenses”.

3.8 Pension plans

CHF 1000 31.12.09 31.12.08

The liabilities due to own pension plans at the balance

sheet date amounted to: 3 895 6 753

According to the pension fund regulations, the employer pays total contributions and benefits equivalent to 15% of the relevant salary whereas the employees contribute 5% of that salary.

CHF 1000 31.12.08

As per the most recent audited financial statements of the BVG-Stiftung

(mandatory pension plan) and the Vorsorgestiftung (non-mandatory pension plan)

of Schroder & Co Bank AG at 31.12.2008, the employer contribution

reserves at period end were: 4 078

Schroder & Co Bank AG guaranteed in writing to the Bank’s Vorsorgestiftung (i.e., the non-mandatory pension plan) that any losses the plan incurs which are not offset by plan gains within a three year period will be compensated by the bank through a corresponding reduction in the Bank’s employer contribution reserves. In the last revised balance deadline of the BVG-Stiftung an obligation of TCHF 4020 resulted from this declaration of guarantee.

5.4 Extraordinary Income

The CHF 11.4 million of extraordinary income is due to the reversal of a provision which was no longer necessary.

5.5 Post Balance Sheet EventsAs of 1 January 2010 the Bank’s Institutional Asset Management and Fund Distribution division was transferred to Schroder

Investment Management (Switzerland) AG, which has been a part of the Schroder Group since 2008. The employees of that

division complement the existing team of fund managers and analysts.

That Group’s company now has its own independent integrated platform for the delivery of comprehensive services to institution-

al clients. Following this separation, the Bank will focus on the private banking business and the expansion of the Service Centre

Private Banking. Based on the 2009 results, the Bank expects a reduction in commissions of CHF 22 million and in expenses of

CHF 16 million. The effects on the balance sheet will be minimal.

Schroder & Co Bank AG | Annual Repor t 2009

As statutory auditor, we have audited the finan-

cial statements of Schroder & Co Bank AG, which

comprise the balance sheet, income statement and

notes, for the year ended 31 December 2009.

Board of Directors’ responsibility

The Board of Directors is responsible for the prepara-

tion of the financial statements in accordance with the

requirements of Swiss law and the company’s articles

of incorporation. This responsibility includes designing,

implementing and maintaining an internal control system

relevant to the preparation of financial statements that are

free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or

error. The Board of Directors is further responsible for se-

lecting and applying appropriate accounting policies and

making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the

circumstances.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these finan-

cial statements based on our audit. We conducted our

audit in accordance with Swiss law and Swiss Auditing

Standards. Those standards require that we plan and per-

form the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the

financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit

evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the fi-

nancial statements. The procedures selected depend on

the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the

risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,

whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assess-

ments, the auditor considers the internal control system

relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial state-

ments in order to design audit procedures that are ap-

propriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of

expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s

internal control system. An audit also includes evaluating

the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and

the reasonableness of accounting estimates made, as

well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial

statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have

obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis

for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements for the year ended

31 December 2009 comply with Swiss law and the com-

pany’s articles of incorporation.

Report on other legal requirements

We confirm that we meet the legal requirements on licens-

ing according to the Auditor Oversight Act (AOA) and

independence (article 728 CO and article 11 AOA) and

that there are no circumstances incompatible with our in-

dependence.

In accordance with article 728a paragraph 1 item 3 CO

and Swiss Auditing Standard 890, we confirm that an in-

ternal control system exists which has been designed for

the preparation of financial statements according to the

instructions of the Board of Directors.

We further confirm that the proposed appropriation of

available earnings complies with Swiss law and the com-

pany’s articles of incorporation. We recommend that the

financial statements submitted to you be approved.
