Independence
Privately held. No shareholders demanding quarterly performance. Our incentives point in the same direction as yours: preserve, then grow.
ZÜRICH · SINCE 1978
A private house.
A long horizon.
Swiss Bank was founded on the belief that real wealth is not made in a decade — it is protected across generations. We look after fewer than a thousand families and institutions worldwide, each of them personally sponsored, each of them served by an advisor they will know by name for the rest of their life.
Longevity
We do not chase the trade of the year. We build portfolios that survive currency crises, tax reforms and geopolitical shocks — measured in decades, not quarters.
Discretion
No mass advertising. No retail branches. No public client list. What happens between you and your advisor stays between you and your advisor.
What we believe
Concentrated wealth attracts scrutiny, litigation, ex-spouses, activist tax regimes and the occasional dictator. The Swiss legal framework was built, over a century, to withstand every one of those. We stand inside that framework.
We do not sell products. We do not receive kickbacks. Our fees are transparent, quoted in advance, and largely tied to performance. If the portfolio does not grow, neither do we.
We answer the phone. We meet you in person. When something goes wrong at 3 a.m. in a jurisdiction six time zones away, someone at Swiss Bank is awake and paid to solve it.
