Swiss wealth manager Julius Baer Holding AG is no longer seeking to buy ING Groep NV's private banking assets in Asia, although it is still in the running for the European assets, a person familiar with the situation said Thursday.

"They are no longer pursuing the Asian assets," the person told Dow Jones Newswires.
