Where in the world do you operate – are you mainly a domestic player of international?

Our clients are internationally active entrepreneurs and families, with a growing focus on clients in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and China. To serve our international clients, BIL Suisse has a presence in the three main financial centres in Switzerland; Zurich, Geneva and Lugano. BIL Group, headquartered in Luxembourg, with a history dating back to 1856, provides a wide array of banking services to individual clients, SMEs and large corporations. BIL Group also maintains offices in Hong Kong and Beijing.

What position would you like your firm to hold in its sector in five years’ time?

BIL Suisse is a boutique bank providing innovative wealth solutions for internationally active entrepreneurs and families, to build sustainable success together. As a boutique bank, we pride ourselves in the agility our organisational set up provides. We have an ambition to grow and further add scale, while aiming to maintain our agility to service our clients efficiently.

What do you most like about the wealth management industry, and what do you like the least and would most like to change?

I greatly value client interactions and working with customers to find creative solutions to their complex problems. Helping entrepreneurs and families to meet both their personal and business banking needs. Assisting clients during major life changes and planning for the future. What I like least about the wealth management industry is that it typically is not at the cutting edge of technological innovation, but that is also changing as new technologies are adopted.

Can you sum up the philosophy that sums up your firm/ you the best?

BIL Suisse is built around the three pillars of Swiss Tradition, European Roots, Eastern Expertise.

Swiss Tradition - As a growing boutique bank, we operate from the three main Swiss financial centres of Zurich, Geneva and Lugano. As our operating base, Switzerland is recognised as the world’s top international wealth management jurisdiction and global leader for cross-border private banking. Switzerland also enjoys long standing political stability, a strong economy and a safe currency. We are proud to offer our clients a full range of service of a boutique bank with international scale, operating in Switzerland since 1985.

European Roots - We are a fully owned subsidiary of Banque Internationale à Luxembourg which, founded in 1856, is the oldest multi-business bank in Luxembourg. Since its foundation, Banque Internationale à Luxembourg and its subsidiaries have played an active role in Luxembourg, surrounding European countries and beyond. Our clients can benefit from the extensive capabilities from our longstanding European roots in Luxembourg, as we provide financial services to help private wealth, financial professionals and businesses flourish.

Eastern Expertise - As a bank, we have a strong focus on the key growth markets of China, Eastern Europe and the Middle East, with dedicated teams covering these markets, complementing our traditional markets. We also have a worldwide network of international experts, including in Beijing and Hong Kong. BIL Suisse is well positioned eastward to support our expanding client base in our key growth markets.
