Overview

Wealth and International is a new division formed in 2009 to give increased focus and momentum to the private banking and asset management businesses and to closely co-ordinate the management of our international businesses.

The Wealth business comprises private banking, wealth and asset management businesses in the UK and overseas. The key operations are UK and International Private Banking, which operate under the Lloyds TSB and Bank of Scotland brands, the Channel Islands and Isle of Man offshore businesses, the expatriates business and the Asset Management business which, following the completion of the sale of Insight Investment, is now consolidated within Scottish Widows Investment Partnership (SWIP). SWIP is one of the largest asset managers in the UK, managing £142 billion worth of assets on behalf of a wide range of institutions. In addition the Group holds a 60 per cent stake in St James's Place plc and a 55 per cent stake in Invista Real Estate, respectively the UK's largest independent listed wealth manager and real estate fund management Group.

The International business comprises the Group's other international banking businesses outside of the UK, with the exception of the corporate business in North America which is managed through the Group's Wholesale division.
