Independent Swiss Private Bank founded in 1982
Banque Thaler is a boutique private bank exclusively dedicated to wealth management for private clients. We do not engage in investment banking, nor do we extend commercial loans or mortgages. We focus on selected areas of business but strive to do them well.
Banque Thaler is ‘Switzerland only’-based, with offices in Geneva and Zurich. The Swiss virtues of stability, quality, precision and craftsmanship are deeply ingrained in how we operate and serve our clients.
Banque Thaler is independent and owned by a partnership of management and board members. The owners thus manage the business and are directly involved in looking after our clients – with a long-term perspective. We are free from external pressures and our interests are aligned with those of our clients. Indeed, our first and foremost focus is on our clients, aiming to be their trusted advisor.
Banque Thaler has an entrepreneurial spirit and a lean organisation. Our human size translates into robust decision-making, high reactivity and flawless execution. The services that we offer are personalised and can be delivered in several European languages.
At Banque Thaler, we view dynamic asset allocation as key to generating positive investment returns. To build client portfolios, we apply a top-down approach. Allocation decisions, between cash, bonds, equities and alternative funds, are taken by the Investment Committee, based on a thorough fundamental analysis of the global macro-economic environment – with a focus on longer run trends mainly, rather than short-term market noise.
We have a longstanding tradition of investing in hedge funds. Over the years, we have developed a high level of expertise in selecting these complex products and built a network of trusted partners, making for sustainable results in all market circumstances. Our clients thus have access to the most experienced managers, whom we submit to an extensive due diligence process.
Should you want to fully rely on our expertise, skills and constant focus on financial markets, you may consider granting us a discretionary mandate. This means letting us make the investment decisions on your behalf, based of course on your financial needs, long-term objectives, risk appetite and country of domicile. Using a dynamic approach, we optimise portfolio diversification through best-in-class investment solutions. The goal being both to preserve your capital and to outperform the relevant benchmarks.
An advisory relationship involves combining our respective expertise and know-how of financial markets and instruments. When you have investment ideas, we act as your sparring partner. And we provide proactive and customised advice, in line with your appetite for risk. Knowing that the final investment decision always remains yours.
