After over eight years as a member of the board, Hans Niederer is not putting himself forward for re-election at the Annual General Meeting in 25 April 2015. On this same day, shareholders will vote to finalise Zuberbuhler's and Chiu's board seats, as well as elect the chairman and the members of the remuneration committee for a one-year term of office.

Among other recent developments, EFG has been granted a wholesale banking licence in Singapore, according to the statement bearing its 2013 results. The licence effectively upgrades the bank's status in the city-state from a merchant banking capacity to a company that is now able to accept Singapore dollar denominated deposits and conduct other financial transactions in the currency.

Early in March, EFG said it created a new wealth management position in Hong Kong to cater to the growing North Asian market. Effective 24 February 2014, Alvin Ma became the head of emerging wealth, to focus on building up EFG's business in North Asia outside of its established markets in Hong Kong and Taipei.

EFG International operates in around 30 countries and has around 2,000 employees.
