Expertise In Evaluating Banking Partners

Benoit Schroll Executive Director Lexton Stanley

Please explain what you think makes your firm successful in its chosen field?

Our success is built upon our team's expertise in evaluating banking partners, and finding the right fit for our clients and candidates. We take a thorough and diligent approach to each placement, carefully evaluating important factors such as the candidate's professional, client relationship management history, investment management experience, financing needs, and more.

What have been the main obstacles you had to overcome and how did you do so to reach this level?

The year 2022 brought with it many challenges in the world of wealth management recruitment, but Lexton Stanley persevered. Our process for supporting private banker candidates is quite extensive and involves examining a range of critical factors, such as track record, customer demographics, investment objectives, financing requirements, and the assessment of their book's pricing, compliance, and key client relationships.

What are the main contributions do you think you bring to the wealth management industry?

We believe that our dedication to providing thorough research and a well-defined search process sets us apart in the wealth management industry. We understand the importance of finding the right fit for both the client and the candidate, and work closely with our clients to establish their goals and needs.

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

At Lexton Stanley, we operate on an international scale, but we have a special focus and expertise in the Swiss market, particularly in the Zurich and Geneva areas, as well as the Luxembourgish recruitment market.

What does success look like you - can this be measured in hard numbers, or in qualitative ways, or both?

Success to us means more than just numbers and figures. Of course, meeting our clients' needs and achieving their hiring goals is a significant part of our success, but we also measure it through the satisfaction of both our clients and candidates.

Our success is built upon our team's expertise in evaluating banking partners, and finding the right fit for our clients and candidates.

Whom do you look to in terms of ideas and inspiration? What other business sectors do you follow for ideas?

At Lexton Stanley, we look to stay informed and inspired by following a variety of different business sectors and industries. While it's important for us to have a broad understanding of what's happening in the world of business, we also make sure to go deeper in our understanding of trends that could potentially affect our own industry of wealth management.

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

We aspire to become a leader in European wealth and asset management recruitment, and to establish ourselves as a recognised challenger in Asia and the Middle East.

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

As a member of the wealth management industry, I am drawn to the opportunity to support the growth and success of our clients, particularly in the area of wealth generation.
