Our history

In 1936, in the middle of one of the worst economic crises Switzerland has ever experienced, Jakob Vontobel seizes the opportunity and buys the stock exchange agency Haeberli & Cie., founded in 1924. On July 13, 1936, J. Vontobel & Co. is entered in the Commercial Register, its purpose being described as: "Trading in securities and supervision of securities accounts, asset management". His entrepreneurial spirit still characterizes the company today.
