Swiss Bank Group Julius B\u00e4r is poised for growth. A choice purveyor of both private banking and investment advisory services since 1890, Julius B\u00e4r Group has evolved into a repository of financial expertise second to none.<\/strong><\/p>\n Navigating a carefully plotted course, the bank is now expanding its geographic footprint with acquisitions in key markets. In late 2015, Julius B\u00e4r Group strengthened its presence in the Eurozone with the purchase of Commerzbank International SA Luxembourg (CISAL).<\/p>\n Julius B\u00e4r Group also earmarked around $100m for the expansion of its operations in China mulling the acquisition of one or more financial technology (fintech) companies, or start one from scratch with local partner Bank of China. Though a latecomer to the Chinese market, Julius B\u00e4r Group timed its arrival carefully and stands to benefit from the lessons learned by the pioneers.<\/p>\n This year, Julius B\u00e4r Group aims to expand its interests in Brazil and Mexico as well, further adding to its already formidable reputation as a fintech powerhouse. Recognising a truth not always convenient, Julius B\u00e4r Group has not only embraced financial technology, but now proactively drives fintech innovation in order to ensure the bank can continue to excel in serving its clients\u2019 interests and needs.<\/p>\n Though the Julius B\u00e4r Group remains unapologetically faithful to the time-honoured ways of Swiss private banking, it intends to do so leveraging the full range of benefits derived from advances in information technology. By allowing classic private banking to receive an infusion of modernity, Julius B\u00e4r Group has managed to keep its well-earned place at the apex of an industry known for its fierce competition.<\/p>\n The CFI.co judging panel finds the Julius B\u00e4r Group\u2019s corporate attitude refreshing. The bank does not strive to be the first at anything; rather, it prefers to think \u2013 long and hard \u2013 before deciding to act. This reticence, however, should not be taken for a reluctance to adapt: Julius B\u00e4r Group proves that leadership is defined by choices shaped in the fullness of time. A repeat winner, the bank has yet again claimed the top spot. The CFI.co judges confirm Julius B\u00e4r Group as winner of the 2015 Best Private Bank Switzerland Award.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Swiss Bank Group Julius B\u00e4r is poised for growth.
