Helping Clients Achieve Peace Of Mind At Piguet Gallard

We are a boutique private bank geared towards the Swiss market and backed by a majority shareholder of outstanding quality, Banque Cantonale Vaudoise.

Our aim is to bring our clients greater peace of mind, and serenity, by concentrating on the worries which keep them awake at night and by helping them to achieve their life goals.

Our aim is to bring our clients greater peace of mind, and serenity, by concentrating on the worries which keep them awake at night and by helping them to achieve their life goals.

To do this, we offer services in three key areas: investments, financing (especially mortgage loans) and wealth advisory. This combination of expertise is quite unique for a private bank and enables us to fully support our clients in all their projects.

We also seek to be an agile, approachable financial partner and to build close relationships with our clients. We believe that, ultimately, it is these close ties which make the difference.

How do awards such as this make a difference to your firm and your colleagues?

Over the past ten years, we’ve worked hard to position our bank at the heart of the local market - and in our clients’ hearts too. Year after year, we’ve enhanced our service offering, our teams, our branch network and our business processes. We know that we’re on the right track - the figures speak for themselves, and our business is growing.

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

Success is measured primarily in quantitative terms - the number of accounts opened, net new money, net new business volumes and revenue growth, for instance. We have indeed recorded very solid growth in all of these key indicators over the last three years.

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

We aim to bring our clients even greater serenity by focusing on excellence and proximity. We want to continue to grow, essentially in French-speaking Switzerland, and to increase our market share in a highly competitive, yet very dynamic, environment.

We also have major ambitions when it comes to our digital banking channels. Here, our goal is to reach and better serve new generations of clients, who are using digital channels more and more for their banking needs.

Alongside our digital banking projects, we’ve embarked on a major corporate social responsibility initiative. As part of this process, we’ve fine-tuned our governance structure, and we’re working to improve our corporate culture, as well as our employees’ autonomy and employability.

We strive to ensure that our business practices are fair: we aim to reduce our impact on the environment, to continue to support our local communities, and assure the sustainability and transparency of our products and services.

To sum it up, we want to become recognised not simply as a key player in Swiss wealth advisory services for all generations of our clients, but also as a business role model aware of our responsibility in mastering the societal and environmental stakes which we face today.
