Managing the assets of private clients across the globe, Julius B\u00e4r Group maintains offices in over twenty countries with an emphasis on Europe and Asia \u2013 the bank\u2019s two home markets. The Julius B\u00e4r Group, one of the world\u2019s oldest and largest private banks, has embarked on a significant expansion project. In July 2014, the group acquired the private banking division of Israel\u2019s Bank Leumi. Earlier in the year, the venerable Swiss bank also upped its stake in the Brazilian private bank GPS Investimentos e Participa\u00e7\u00f5es to 80%.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Julius B\u00e4r Group has also trained its sight on the Middle East. The bank recently celebrated the tenth anniversary of its landing at the Dubai International Financial Centre and is now working hard to offer clients a full suite of Sharia-compliant products and services.<\/p>\n

Julius B\u00e4r CEO Boris Collardi suggested that the changing economics of private banking may result in additional acquisitions. In a recent interview, Mr Collardi explained that regulatory costs are on the increase and while market and risk appetites of clients have been subdued: \u201cMargins are now lower and that leads to consolidation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The CFI.co Judging Panel has nothing but praise for Mr Collardi\u2019s management of the Julius B\u00e4r Group. He initiated a somewhat overdue revamp of the bank\u2019s ageing IT systems and also stylishly implemented a process of growth that has kept the bank well ahead of the market curve.<\/p>\n

In his five years at the helm of the Julius B\u00e4r Group, Mr Collardi has increased the volume of assets under management by a solid 85% to over $282bn in 2014. The CFI.co judges congratulate the bank on its enduring success and are pleased to name Julius B\u00e4r Group, for a third consecutive year, Best Private Bank Switzerland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
