Metzler Bank reports on a successful year in 2009

"2009 was a successful year," reported Friedrich von Metzler at the bank’s annual press conference in Frankfurt/Main, Germany, on May 26, 2010. "Even in the third year of the financial crisis we did not experience any material changes." The bank’s revenues still come from capital-market-oriented areas of business. However, in the recent past there has been an unprecedented and extremely rapid change in business conditions. Nevertheless, last year provided further confirmation that Metzler is well positioned even in such conditions thanks to its sustainable business philosophy. The key success factor in all areas of the bank’s business is its independence.
