The mandate

We have been mandated by our client, an independent wealth management boutique, to appoint a Senior Private Banker across markets in Zurich or Dubai.

For an accomplished private banker, joining a distinguished independent wealth manager marks a defining chapter in a career, the culmination of years of dedication to your clients and your profession. Your success in this setting affirms your standing among the elite of private bankers.

Our client offers the backing of accomplished partners who are personally invested in the firm and in the success of the bankers who join it. You will work with them to present the house to your clientele, supported by specialist advisers where the circumstances require. Their visible commitment can be a decisive source of confidence for clients considering the transfer of their assets.

The house combines a presence across several jurisdictions and relationships with several custodian banks, allowing relationships to be structured around your clients' international circumstances and preferences. Your investment proposition brings together an open investment architecture and access to alternative investments, including private markets, allowing you to build portfolios around each client’s objectives and requirements.

In your daily work, you can rely on reliable systems with well-designed workflows and accomplished colleagues who share their expertise, preserving time and attention for your client relationships. This is complemented by leadership with a close understanding of your target market and prompt, well-informed decisions on client matters, keeping your knowledge of the client close to the decisions that shape the relationship.

The commercial environment combines commercial objectives that recognise the time needed to develop client assets and meaningful discretion in how you organise your activity, giving experienced bankers a considered setting in which to develop their relationships. This development sits within a house combining stable ownership with continuity of direction and a clear strategy for growth in its chosen markets.

For a cohesive team, this opportunity offers scope to discuss a collective transition that recognises the strength of the relationships and working practices already built.
