Julius Baer approves CHF 600 million buyback and revises capital policy

Following regulatory approval, Julius Baer's board authorised repurchases of up to CHF 600 million of Group shares. Execution was expected over one year and remained subject to market conditions. The Group also updated its capital distribution policy: an intended dividend payout range of 40–60% of IFRS net profit attributable to shareholders, a progressive dividend ambition absent exceptional circumstances, and a target CET1 ratio of 15%. These policy targets are distinct from actual capital ratios, completed repurchases or declared dividend amounts.
