FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTORS
“A culture founded on our varied international roots,
our expertise, and the strength of our shareholder.”

015 shall be remembered as the defining
moment in the transformation initiated by
Indosuez Wealth Management Group in 2012,
with the adoption of a single brand for all of
its activities in Europe, the Middle East, AsiaPacific, and the Americas.
This transformation was inspired by profound changes in
our clients’ goals. For personal or professional reasons,
they are becoming more international, with increasingly
clear requirements, and their wealth, which often comes
from entrepreneurial ventures, requires new forms of
expertise.
We have strengthened our position in our historical
markets and furthered our development in the world’s
highest-growth regions for wealth management by
capitalising on our structure, which is organised around
seven geographic regions.
Our skills have been reorganised, while our best practices
and resources have been pooled to offer our products
and services worldwide.
Our development strategy is now backed by a network
that is capable of serving our clients, wherever they
are and wherever they go. The strategy relies on an
exclusive array of services showcasing the various forms
of expertise we have gained over our 140-year history,
along with the capabilities of Crédit Agricole, one of the
top banking groups in Europe.
This naturally includes services that handle all of the
issues that specifically affect entrepreneurs.
In 2015, in an environment of profound structural,
regulatory and financial changes characterised by major
challenges, a market with unprecendently low interest
rates, abundant liquidity, and high volatility, our choices
have proven their worth.
Indeed, Indosuez Wealth Management maintained its
momentum in France and abroad, with assets under
management rising by €8bn to €109.6bn at end-2015.
This demonstrates the merits of our organisational
structure, the quality of our products and services,
and the talents of our experts. These assets appeal
to exacting clients who often have assets in several
countries and are seeking added value as well as
excellent service.
Our net banking income (NBI) totalled €768.9 million, a
10% increase over the previous year. Despite low interest
rates that negatively impacted our margins, our gross
operating income (GOI) rose by 20% to €173.2m.
Against this backdrop, we can be proud of the progress
we have made and can look to the future calmly and
with confidence.
We a re t h u s u n i q u e l y w e l l p l a c e d t o m e e t t h e
challenges facing our business. Our strenghts are
now represented by our powerful single brand, across
all markets.
It is a brand that evokes our history and our place within
the Crédit Agricole group, a leader in a broad range of
activities.
It reflects the pooling of all our expertise.
It is closely associated with our meticulously built
international network, our expertise, and our high addedvalue range of products and services.
It describes our bank, which operates on a human scale,
and guarantees a deeply relationship-focussed culture
aligned with Crédit Agricole’s values

on five mutually supportive key attributes that illustrate
our added value around the world.
Solidity, Heritage, and local roots illustrates our

the world dating back over more than a century.
A human dimension creates added value.
The work performed by our teams on a day to day basis
aims to provide our clients with an exceptional bespoke
service. The bonds that we form with them are based
on mutual trust.
Our core products and services:
Structuring wealth covers all our services and advisory
businesses from a wealth strategy and structuring
standpoint. Specific analysis of each client’s overall
situation, and of their constraints and aspirations,
enables us to design tailor-made wealth management
recommendations. The Corporate Finance business
specifically helps entrepreneurs deploy their strategy.
Investing wealth promotes a range of high added-value
international investment solutions.

Our business ethics are as strong and conservative as
our history, and our advice is steeped in that tradition.

ECONOMIC
AND FINANCIAL
ENVIRONMENT
By Paul Wetterwald, Chief Economist
A
ll in all, 2015 was a year of positive global
growth and low inflation, despite the
episodes of sharp volatility that affected the
financial markets in the closing months, and
despite the strong disparities between
regions. The succession of central bank meetings that
punctuated the end of the year also provided a clear
indication of the divergence of monetary policies.
means that the Fed is unlikely to raise key rates at each
of its eight monetary policy meetings in 2016.
The beginning of December saw the Governor of the
ECB elect to take interest rates deeper into negative
territory, cutting the rate it applies to commercial bank
deposits from -0.2% to -0.3%, and to extend its bondbuying programme until March 2017.
In today’s currency wars, the dollar and the Swiss franc
came out strongest over the year, with the euro declining
from 1.21 to 1.09 against the USD and from 1.20 to 1.09
against the Swiss franc.
On the other side of the Atlantic, the Federal Reserve
embarked upon on the first cycle of monetary tightening
in the US for over 10 years on 16 December (increasing
its benchmark rate from 0.25% to 0.50%). The cycle is
expected to be moderate, both in scope and pace, which
12
2015 Annual Report l CFM IND OSUEZ WEALTH MANAGEMENT
Japan and China, on the other hand, will maintain an
accomodative stance, with the first continuing to pursue
an inflation target of 2%, and the second looking to
ensure a soft landing for activity with a slight decrease
in the yuan if necessary.
The diverging monetary policy trajectories is partly
explained by the performance in the different segments
of the bond market. At the bottom end of the range are
emerging bonds (impacted by the strength of the US
dollar and monetary tightening in the US) and USDdenominated high yield bonds (which are exposed to oil
prices), with peripheral euro zone bond yields faring best.
The differences in performance are impressive: -15% in
USD for emerging debt and +23% in euro for Greek debt.
Comparing the performance of bond markets and equity
markets suggests that the time has not yet come for the
“Great Rotation” that will see bond investors switch to
equities.
Although the world’s stock markets lost 3.9% (in USD)
in 2015, a number of pockets of growth could be found,
including tech stocks (the Nasdaq gained 7.1%), most
euro zone markets (with Euro Stoxx increasing 7.4% and
the FTSE MIB in Italy climbing 15.8%) and Japan (the
Nikkei gained 11%). However, this performance comes
at a price: higher volatility.
Outlook
for 2016
Our central scenario hinges on a slight
acceleration in global GDP, which
will grow by more than 3%. In the USA,
growth in 2016 is expected to reflect that of
the global economy (+0.2 percentage points).
In Europe and Japan, it should be twice as
high, i.e. 0.4 percentage points, albeit from
a lower starting point. Next year should
see India stay ahead of China, with growth
expected to reach 7.5% as against 6.5%
for its neighbour. Last but not least, Russia
and Brazil will fight to put an end to inflation.
Against this backdrop, relative economic
momentum is likely to penalise the USA
and work to the advantage of not just Japan
and the euro zone but also the emerging
countries (particularly China and India).
The magic number of 2% headline inflation
should also be within reach for the world’s
main mature economies. Energy and food
costs should lead to a rebound in inflation,
while the price of other goods and services
are expected to drive indices down.
With this in mind, we expect to see a benign
structural shift in inflation. This essentially
moderate inflation scenario should allow
central banks looking to increase their key
rates to do so with due restraint, particularly
in the USA and the United Kingdom. While
future debt market trends are more difficult
to ascertain given the gradual improvement
in yields, our scenario clearly does not
include a debt market crash. Furthermore,
yields on high-yield bonds, currently close
to 9% in USD, offer a certain level
of protection against future defaults.
Stock markets are expected to perform
well at the end of 2016: historically speaking,
when the Federal Reserve increases its key
rate gradually, i.e. not at each one of its
monetary policy (FOMC) meetings, US equity
prices improve in the year that follows the
start of the rate hiking cycle. By contrast,
if the increase is too rapid, US market
performance is negative. In more general
terms, while the current abundance of
liquidity will boost the equity markets,
this common denominator will not absolve
the investor of responsibility for making
discerning choices.
Lastly, the appreciation of the US dollar
is expected to be limited. Today’s foreign
exchange markets tend to react in
anticipation of central bank decisions
rather than when those decisions are actually
implemented, which partly explains the
appreciation of the greenback this year
whilst waiting for the Federal Reserve
to hike interest rates. As such, we do not
expect the dollar to achieve parity with
the euro and anticipate an upper limit
of around 1.15 next year.

T
he fundamentals are solid, and public finances
are sound. The no debt, no structural deficit
model is the Monaco model being preserved.
2015 will be the fourth consecutive year that
has ended with a surplus budget right in line with what
the Principality has had since public accounts were
improved in 2012.
Finance and insurance, science and technology, and
administrative and support services are the largest
economic sectors. Along with the real estate industry as
a whole, they contribute to wealth generated, and together,
probably made up more than one-third of Monaco's
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2015.*
With total deals coming in close to €1.8 billion, the real
estate sector is being driven by sharp increase in sales
of new properties, in particular the sale of the “Tour
Odéon” and “La Petite Afrique” residential buildings and
the luxury hotel “Le Méridien.”
The Principality has fit its economy into a Mediterranean
arch that stretches from the Italian Riviera to the Côte
d'Azur in France. Every day, thousands of professionals
come to work in Monaco, in an exchange that is profitable
for each of the countries. In addition, 120 nationalities
14
2015 Annual Report l CFM IND OSUEZ WEALTH MANAGEMENT
from all continents are bringing their experience and
expertise to Monaco's economy.
All of the country's energies are mobilised to preserve
economic growth, invent new sources of development,
and adapt the Monegasque model to the world's
challenges.
Major initiatives should be given a high profile among the
government's framework projects. Offshore extension, a
six-hectare eco-district at l’Anse du Portier, 60,000 m 2 of
housing over the next 10 years, and the new Princess
Grace Hospital (CHPG), construction of which should
last 10 years without affecting continuity of medical care,
illustrate the complexity of these major projects in a small
territory.
Monaco has a dozen long-term ongoing major initiatives
worth nearly one-third of the State's annual budget.
The appeal of such excellent facilities and so many cultural
and sporting events all year long make the Principality
of Monaco a preferred destination for business and
tourism. In terms of business travel, 2015 was a very
good year for the Grimaldi Forum, and 2016 also looks
very promising, with a packed events calendar.

of negotiations underway with the European Union.
*The GDP figures for 2015 are not yet available from the Monaco
Institute of Statistics and Economic Research (IMSEE).
Pursuant to the agreements that are compliant with the
European Union's and the OECD's international standards
on information exchange, Monaco is to sign a Protocol
for amending the "Agreement between the European
Community and the Principality of Monaco providing for
measures equivalent to those laid down in Council Directive
2003/48/EC."
The signature and entry into force of the protocol, after
ratification, will lead to a new phase: beginning in 2018,
Monaco will automatically exchange, with each of the
Member States, information collected as from 1 January

residents.

015 was marked by two major successes for
CFM Indosuez Wealth Management.
The first success was financial, with NBI up
8% and net company profit of €47 million,
up 16.8% over one year, the highest profit the bank
has ever achieved. This performance signals the trust
our customers and shareholders have in us, and we
are thankful for it. It is the result of an effective risk
policy and good cost control. It is the reward for
intensive cooperative work by all of CFM Indosuez
Wealth Management's teams, who have kept our
customers' interests at the core of all their actions,
in all their lines of business, throughout the year.
The strength and the sharp increase in these results
are all the more remarkable because they were
achieved in an environment of zero, even negative,
rates, which prevailed in most of the major economies

Yves Barsalou,
Chairman
in 2015. While this climate did significantly affect the
wealth management business in general, CFM
Indosuez Wealth Management successfully grew its
customers’ assets under management by more than
5% over 2014. This growth was made possible thanks
to the performance and prudence of the experts in
our trading room, the largest in Monaco or anywhere
on the Côte d'Azur, and thanks to the successful
development of our businesses and the net inflow of
new capital.
We would especially like to thank the employees of
CFM Indosuez Wealth Management, whose
commitment and momentum have been extremely
valuable in achieving these very good results against
the current backdrop.
The second success is the transformation we
completed in 2015, with all entities in the Wealth
Management segment of Crédit Agricole Group. This

and in the years to come.
transformation culminated with the adoption of the
global brand Indosuez Wealth Management on 18
January 2016. In Monaco, we chose the name CFM
Indosuez Wealth Management, which reflects our
lasting attachment to the Principality. Once again, we
want to express our recognition to the Monaco
Authorities for their trust in our Company and their
interest in our development.
With this new brand, our Company has opened a new
page in its history, which is still grounded in a strong
commitment to our customers, everywhere in the
world. This commitment is a very concrete contribution
to CFM Indosuez Wealth Management's performance
in 2015. It is based on the five pillars of our business:
Accessibility and responsiveness: Our roots are
local, so our advice is always market-relevant.
A spirit of partnership: While one to one customer
relationships are key, we believe we can achieve much
more by working together as a team, to guide and
advise and deliver best of breed solutions.
The excellence of balanced advice: prudence is
essential. Our advice is expert, objective and ethical
so we can design well balanced wealth architectures
to deliver long term investment excellence.
A quality-based approach: We know that a
customer's satisfaction is a source of trust and a gauge
of loyalty. That's why we support you by attaching
primary importance to the quality of our services.
Trusted to do the right thing: on the strength of
our status as one of the top five banking players in
Europe, our history has been built in tandem with that
of the entrepreneurs and families we have advised all
over the world.
These pillars form a base on which we will continue
to build and grow in 2016. Our bank's fundamentals
are solid. The bank's outlook is good. We are
confident in the future: CFM Indosuez Wealth
Management's employees know the importance and
performance that come from a strategy that effectively
puts the customer at the core of each of their actions.
They have proven it with the 2015 results. As
Monaco's number-one employer, our bank will
strengthen its teams' cooperation in 2016 to offer our
customers service focused on excellence.
Our development strategy will continue in our natural
territory in the Principality of Monaco and across
target geographic areas, suited to our positioning and
the strategy of Indosuez Wealth Management around
the world. Our bank has all the advantages to meet
the challenges it will be facing in 2016 and in the
years to come.

Management's
performance in 2015 was excellent across
all business lines: first, for its main activity,
Wealth Management, but also for all of the
financial solutions provided to businesses,
institutions, and professionals. The quality of service
provided to private investors and entrepreneurs was
especially highly rated by our international clients, both
residents and non-residents of Monaco. The impact
of refocusing our activities with European Union and
OECD residents was rewarded by the steady inflow of
capital into all zones covered by our teams.
The strong performance of Wealth Management
also reflects our teams’ ability to provide genuinely
personalised investment solutions. In addition, the
effective coordination between the different entities
of Indosuez Wealth Management represents a real
medium-term competitive advantage. We witnessed
the positive effects of this during the last financial year,
particularly in the European market.
The range of investment solutions
available from Wealth Management
Throughout 2015, the teams at CFM Indosuez Wealth
Management and Indosuez Wealth Management around
the world worked on developing investment solutions that
take into account all of our clients' asset management
expectations. This approach, in which all asset classes
and all forms of investment are permitted, is directly linked
to the changes taking place in the Wealth Management
market. Our range of products and services has evolved
over the course of the year so as to fully meet the
expectations of our private clients, entrepreneurs in
particular, in terms of both risk management and the ability
to customise the solutions on offer.
For FY 2015, we prioritised three strategic areas to get
the most from difficult market conditions: opening up to
a broader investment universe, excellence in analyses
and recommendations on the various financial markets,
and accounting for the legal and entrepreneurial aspects
of the strategies deployed for our clients. By concentrating
on “real economy” assets (private equity and real estate)
for the investments they look after, our teams have been
able to offer CFM Indosuez Wealth Management clients
higher returns than many financial securities without
significantly increasing portfolio volatility. Meanwhile, our
real estate experts draw on their unrivalled knowledge of
the local markets (Monaco and Côte d'Azur) to provide
clients with customised, concrete solutions for financing
their acquisitions, a regularly updated real estate watch,
analysis of property investors’ needs, and guidance and
referral to targeted professional partners who are known
to our Bank.
However, investment solutions focused on the equity
markets have not been neglected. In a climate dominated
by historically low interest rates, the teams at CFM
Indosuez Wealth Management's trading desk, the largest
in Monaco, in partnership with Indosuez Wealth
Management's teams around the world, have chosen an
approach based on a flexible, open-ended equilibrium
among asset classes. As a result, the strategies
implemented by our discretionary management teams
were adjusted in response to the fluctuations that affected
all asset classes and the major global markets due to the
combined effect of the economic slowdown in China, the
planned rise in US rates and persistently weak
commodities. The quality and performance of these
strategies is attested to in the six funds managed by
CFM Indosuez Gestion, which cover all of the usual
themes. The research and analysis capabilities available
to the clients of CFM Indosuez Wealth Management seem
to be the main factor behind the growth in our investment
advisory business over the course of the year. The
recommendations we issued in 2015, in terms of both
stock picking and foreign exchange strategies, generated
considerable added value despite difficult market
conditions. Our expertise in identifying and following up
on investment opportunities also fed into our range of
structured products, particularly in the equity markets,
23
INDOSUEZ WEALTH MANAGEMENT
ACTIVITY REPORT
enabling us to capture the markets’ upside potential while
at the same time optimising the portfolios’ risk profiles.
We also focused on the legal, fiscal and entrepreneurial
challenges that are decisive in the success of the
investment strategies devised for our Bank's clientèle.
The asset-management and financial engineering
experts at CFM Indosuez Wealth Management provide
customised guidance according to each client's nationality,
residence, and legal, fiscal, and financial situation.
External management companies, monitored by a
dedicated team, receive all of the bank's appraisals and
thus optimise the quality of their advice and services.
Likewise, the rollout of Corporate Finance services
during 2015 met the needs of our entrepreneurial clients,
in addition to our dedicated services for Monegasque
companies and entrepreneurs doing business in
Monaco since 2009. Business leaders are showing an
ever-growing interest in their bank's ability to take a
holistic approach to their wealth management issues.
Bearing in mind the need for caution and responsiveness,
the priorities identified by our teams are to continue to
enhance our product and service ranges, and to
strengthen our market presence, to the benefit of every
one of our clients.
The bank's activities
CFM Indosuez Wealth Management's assets increased
by +5.1% compared to 2014, growth which was achieved
through a combination of net inflows and positive market
effects.
Cash assets remained stable at high levels, especially for
demand deposits (+24%).
Securities assets, meanwhile, gained +7% in one year,
with decidedly brisk activity on funds and equities.
Life Insurance deposits increased +12% compared with
31.12.2014.
Outstanding credit risks on the balance sheet are still in
a trend of continuous growth (+9.3%) over one year. The
main driver of this growth is the very low rate environment.
Access to the skills, expertise and worldwide network of
Crédit Agricole Group is an extremely valuable asset that
sets our Wealth Management businesses apart.
The strong performance
of Wealth Management also reflects
our teams’ ability to provide genuinely
personalised investment solutions.
In addition, the effective coordination
between the different entities of
Indosuez Wealth Management represents
a real medium-term competitive advantage.
We witnessed the positive effects of this
during the last financial year,
particularly in the European market.

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND
POLICIES APPLIED
1.1. Introduction
CFM Indosuez Wealth Management's financial statements
are prepared in compliance with the regulations that apply
to credit institutions in the Principality of Monaco, within
the framework of the agreements between France and
Monaco.
Forward interest-rate financial instruments
These are primarily back-to-back contracts that form
part of the asset and liability management process.

are entered on the income statement on a pro rata basis.
■
Interest-rate options
Interest-rate options are back-to-back transactions
entered into on the over-the-counter market.
■
Securities
1.2. Accounting principles and policies
Trading securities
Trading securities are securities purchased on an
organised market that is sufficiently liquid, with a view to
reselling them within a maximum timeframe of six months
from the outset.
Translation of assets and liabilities denominated
in foreign currencies
Trading securities are valued at their market value. The
capital gains or losses generated are recorded under
income or expense for the financial year.
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
are translated at the market exchange rates at the balance
sheet date.
The income and expenses resulting from these translations,
together with the translation differences generated on
transactions during the financial year are recognised in
the income statement.
■
Investment securities
Investment securities are financial investments purchased
in order to provide a financial return.
■
A provision is recorded where their market value is lower
than their book value.
Equity investments
The recording of impairment provisions on equity
investments is assessed on an individual basis, taking
account of their value-in-use and of the economic and
financial appraisal of each company concerned.
■
Forex-exchange transactions
Spot and forward foreign-exchange contracts
Spot foreign-exchange contracts are valued at the spot
market rate for the currency in question at each balance
sheet date.
■
Forward currency transactions are back-to-back
transactions, and the rate used is the spot rate for the
currency in question.
Currency options
Currency options are back-to-back transactions entered
into on the over-the-counter market.
■

Fixed assets
Tangible assets are entered at their historical cost and in
accordance with the component method; repairs,
maintenance and small items are posted as a debit in the
year’s expenses account.
Intangible assets include the business assets purchased,
software, and lease rights, and are shown on the balance
sheet at their historical cost.
The business assets purchased and lease rights are not
amortised, and are subject to an impairment test.
The depreciation and amortisation charges for other fixed
assets are calculated on a straight-line basis.

AUDITORS
Financial year ended 31 December 2015
To the Shareholders,
I
n accordance with the provisions of Article 25 of Law No. 408 of 20 January 1945, we hereby report to you on
the general and ongoing assignment that was entrusted to us for the 2015, 2016 and 2017 financial years via
a decision of the Ordinary General Meeting of 20 May 2015.
The financial statements and company documents, approved by your Board of Directors, were provided to us within
the legal deadlines.
• The balance sheet total amounted to €4,332,027,721
• The income statement shows a net profit of €47,109,906
Our assignment, which consists in issuing an opinion on these financial statements, was performed in accordance
with professional standards, and by applying the rules relating to the audit of institutions governed by banking
regulations. This assignment required us to review the transactions performed by your company during the 2015
financial year, the balance sheet at 31 December 2015, the income statement for the financial year, and the notes
for the period ended on that date.
These documents were drawn up in accordance with legal specifications, in the same form as in the previous
financial year, and using the same methods.
We checked the various items that make up the assets and liabilities, together with the methods adopted to value
those items, and to differentiate between expenses and income. Our review was performed in accordance with
generally accepted accounting review standards, which provide that our work is planned and performed so as to
obtain reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An accounting review includes the examination of the evidence provided for the amounts and information contained
in the financial statements via spot checks, as well as an assessment of the accounting policies used, and the main
estimates made by your directors.
In our opinion, the financial statements at 31 December 2015, as appended to this report and submitted for your
approval, present a fair view of your Company’s asset and liability position at 31 December 2015 and of the net
income for the financial year then ended, in accordance with legal specifications.
We also checked the financial information contained in your Board of Directors’ report, the proposed appropriation
of earnings, and compliance with the legal and statutory provisions governing the operation of your Company. We
have no observations to make.
