Private banking with a difference
This Swiss private bank was established in 1856 and over the past century and a half
has developed a reputation as a bank with a difference. The two main differentiating

produced consistent results in long-term wealth creation.
The bank is 85 per cent owned by Banque Cantonale Vaudoise (BCV), the 4th largest
bank in Switzerland by balance sheet, whose main shareholder is the State of Vaud.
The remaining 15 per cent is owned by management. This unique combination gives

commitment that comes from management ownership.

services to independent portfolio managers.
