A long-term perspective: the combined approaches of our three business lines
In these uncertain times, clients’ needs are evolving but one consistent priority is having a reliable support structure. Find out how the support we provide to our different families of clients puts this responsibility into practice on a daily basis.
Support at times of uncertainty: a shared responsibility
Geopolitical uncertainties, market volatility and economic transformations make it all the more important to have a solid framework. Supporting our clients is not just about offering solutions but about assuming a long-term responsibility to protect, anticipate and act with discernment. Dependability and solidity are reflected across all our activities and form the central theme of our annual report, Portrait 2026. They become a tangible reality through the combined approaches of our three business lines.
Private clients: finding simple, comprehensible solutions
For private clients, managing complex issues is critical. In an unstable environment, the need for greater clarity, consistency and long-term visibility is increasing. As described in Portrait 2026, this approach is based on key strategic choices: portfolio diversification, rigorous risk management, and the gradual integration of sustainability considerations. The solutions we offer place particular importance on simplicity and transparency. We focus on a personalised approach, not standard investment strategies. Proximity, the stability of our teams, and advancing our clients’ financial understanding ensure that every decision fits within a comprehensive approach to wealth management.
Trust is built through transparent decisions, rigorous risk management and a long-term perspective in our relationship with our clients. Luc Rodesch, Head of Private Banking
Businesses and entrepreneurs: supporting a holistic strategy
The challenges facing entrepreneurs extend beyond the business itself. Development, structuring, succession: each stage embraces both an economic project and a personal story. This holistic approach lies at the heart of our mission, as described in Portrait 2026. It draws on a detailed understanding of the local economic fabric, direct engagement with clients, and bespoke solutions for each situation. In a challenging environment, we have maintained our support for local businesses, accompanied by a significant increase in financing. Particular attention is paid to transitions, including intergenerational succession, sustainability considerations and developing the business model.
Our strength lies in supporting businesses while taking a personal interest in the entrepreneur and their family, at every stage of their journey.” Pit Linster, Head of Businesses & Entrepreneurs
Asset management professionals: a combination of precision and agility
For institutional clients, trust relies on operational expertise. In an increasingly complex regulatory and technical environment, the quality of execution, reliability and a fast response are critical.
As illustrated in Portrait 2026, we adopt a bespoke approach, in marked contrast to the increasing standardisation generally seen on the market. We are differentiated by having dedicated teams, closely coordinating relevant areas of expertise and ensuring that we gain a thorough understanding of each client’s particular situation. Continually improving our tools and processes, especially through digitalisation, is integral to this approach, as is the strengthening of our teams and skills.
The client is at the heart of our priorities, with agile, reliable and sustainable support. Florence Winfield-Pilotaz, Head of Asset Servicing
A single guiding principle: consistency and responsibility
The diversity of our business lines converges in a shared conviction: in an uncertain world, solidity cannot be decreed, it is built over time. Whether in wealth management, supporting businesses or providing services to institutional clients, a single guiding principle prevails – that we offer clear, sustainable and responsible solutions.
This approach is also reflected in a broader strategy, notably through our commitment within the B Corp community, which structures our initiative to deliver continuous improvement and measurable impact.
Reading beyond the figures
The figures, activities and areas of expertise reflect the reality of a model built for the long term that is capable of adapting without compromising on its core principles. Find out more in Portrait 2026 where our approach is described in greater detail. But beyond this overview, a single ambition shines through, namely supporting every client to the highest standards in an environment of ever-shifting challenges.
