Pictet

Founded in Geneva in 1805, Pictet is today one of the leading independent wealth and asset managers, with a global presence in more than25 locations worldwide. The management of wealth has been at the core of what we do ever since – looking after our clients’ interests, building relationships of trust with them, and helping them to protect, grow and control their fortunes.

We have achieved this by investing and managing wealth successfully through wars, political upheavals and economic crises, underpinned by financial stability and high credit ratings.

Since the foundation of Pictet, there have been only 42 partners, each with an average tenure of over 21 years. Because their terms overlap, their knowledge, experience and values are absorbed and passed on without interruption through successive generations. With one of the lowest rates of staff turnover in the industry, Pictet brings consistency and continuity to each client relationship.

The notion of partnership is central to our mission, as it is the alignment of who we are, what we do and how we do it that allows us to serve you.

Our corporate structure is a partnership, a private company fully owned by owner-managers who are invested alongside clients so that their interests are aligned. They join and leave the partnership at nominal value, so they have no incentive to maximise its short-term value.

Partnership is also our purpose. Our aim is to manage your wealth for the long term and throughout the business cycle. Our business model minimises conflicts of interest, allowing us to focus on serving yours. We believe in doing things that are good for our clients, and that profit is just a consequence of doing things well.

And partnership is how we work with clients: we take the time to listen to you and seek to understand your goals. We build investment solutions based on your needs, not based on our products or solutions. Our bankers walk beside clients as advisors: we make sure that you achieve your goals. We partner with you to protect, grow and control your wealth and preserve it for future generations.
