...With five approved biosimilars Europe serves as a model for other countries looking to define their own regulatory approval criteria. The US is on the brink of passing legislation to establish a statutory pathway for biosimilars approval.

...There was a great deal of acquisition activity among wealth managers in this quarter, wh ich is likely to be a reflection of the current tendency for consolidation among t he largest players worldwide, with ma ny smaller, regional or niche firms continuing to be swallowed up by larger rivals. This quarter, the major news in the realm of M&A was the planned takeover of ABN AMRO by a consortium of RBS, Santander and Fortis, and a similar bid by Barclays. However, the outcome of the two bids for the bank do not yet make clear the implicat ions for the wealth management side of ABN s business. Meanwhile, small regional players were a definite target for several larger wealth managers in this quarter. This was especially the case in Taiwan and Western Europe, while smalle r players were also taken over in the US market. Despite the ongoing speculation about its future, ABN AMRO acquired t he Taiwanese Taitung Business Bank, thereby extending its private banking office network size...

...There was a significant amount of movement within staffi ng in the second quarter of ####, with several wealth managers making multiple senior hires. In some cases, this was a dire ct response to recent or impending acquisitions, as in the case of Bank of America, which made several key appointments this quarter reflecting the combination of business with US Trust and a focus on growing the wealth management side of the busin ess. Major staffing changes, at a time when senior staff are in high demand, also have a great effect on the firms which lose large numbers of staff as a result of hiring. This quarter Credit Suisse lost out significantly when both RBS and Sarasin made multiple hires from its talent pool. Major staffing shifts can also be attributed to general ex pansion or a push for organic growth, such as Sarasin s appointment of # new professionals to their London office s Priv ate Client team, in an effort to boost their assets under management.
