Best Impact Investing Award

Our commitment towards a more sustainable world translates into our wealth management activity through innovating and differentiating services that position ourselves as pioneers with regards to positive impact solutions. We are convinced that a positive change can be achieved by combining the integration of sustainability in the liquid asset classes and the investment in impactful solution-providers.

Among our latest digital innovations, we have the enhancement of our E-banking chat solution, which provides real-time conversations with our clients and a simulation tool for the visualisation of strategic asset allocation. We also launched a new Private Asset Portal (Private Equity & Real Estate), which gives clients a 360° view of portfolios with detailed geographic breakdowns, strategies and currencies available, alongside performance breakdowns for each fund and their consolidated portfolios.

Where would you like your firm to be in terms of sectors in five years’ time?

Bachmann: Being “the Preferred Bank for Entrepreneurs & Families (E&F)” and “the Reference Bank for Financial Savings in Europe” are two of our strategic objectives. We are leveraging our team of experts, and we have investment and financial solutions tailored to our clients’ needs using our Group expertise.

With our global financial network tapping into the top experts worldwide, we are able to provide very specific expertise to clients, such as structuration and promotion of capital market solutions, direct investments and club deals, niche private asset funds and co-investments alongside our PE/RE funds.

What would you say is your firm’s philosophy?

Bachmann: No country, business or individual can win in the long term in a world that loses. BNP Paribas understood the role that finance has to play in the transformation of society twenty years ago, and has been working since then to create new business models.
