Why Vontobel
At Vontobel, we actively shape the future
Investing is at the core of everything we do
At Vontobel, we have always been focused on investing. What began as a brokerage in 1924 evolved into an asset manager in 1936. Today, we strive to be one of the most trusted global investment firms, with experts based in the world’s key financial hubs. We believe strongly in active investing and constantly work to deliver value and the expected pattern of performance. We master what we do, and only do what we master.
Financial stability
We match short-term deposits with assets of similar maturity and liquidity, holding mainly high-quality, tradable bonds and lending conservatively.
We listen to you
The world keeps changing rapidly. To stay ahead, companies must constantly evolve. We do this by being close to our clients. Whether you are a private investor or represent an institution, we start by understanding your individual situation, your goals and needs. You tell us how you want to work with us-whether that's through a relationship manager, digital only or hybrid. We translate our observations into real world solutions that respond to your demands and desires.
Founded nearly a century ago, we uphold Switzerland’s tradition of stability, integrity, and precision, offering clients a secure and trusted financial partner in an evolving world.
Our commitment to excellence, inspired by our Swiss roots, empowers our clients to navigate the future with confidence – backed by a partner they can trust.
We believe in our people, and their diversity
At Vontobel, we have an ownership mindset. Our people are empowered to take personal responsibility in fulfilling our mission of empowering investors to build better futures.
We know that diverse thinking leads to better solutions. And we’re proud that from our Swiss roots we have grown into a modern, dynamic, multi-cultural and multi-lingual team. It’s our people, and their way of working, who underpin our competitive edge and success.
We embody the entrepreneurial spirit
With nearly a century of experience and strong family ownership, we understand the entrepreneurial journey. For many, their business is central to their personal wealth, making a holistic financial approach essential. We align personal and business financial needs to ensure lasting success.
Our entrepreneurial spirit drives us to provide tailored solutions for business owners, from corporate pensions to succession planning. As a family-owned firm, we share the same long-term mindset, combining expertise, foresight, and tenacity to help navigate complex financial decisions.
Ownership means we take full responsibility for our advice and services. Tenacity ensures we pursue the best solutions, no matter the challenge. Foresight enables us to anticipate market trends and unlock opportunities. With this approach, we help entrepreneurs secure their financial future – just as we have for generations.
We are with you for the long haul

Our expertise in wealth and asset management has shaped us into a resilient, forward-thinking organization, capable of navigating even the most challenging markets. This legacy reflects our prudent decision-making and client-first philosophy.
Our strength lies in our unique structure: family-owned yet publicly listed. This combination ensures long-term stability, while meeting the highest standards of transparency and governance. The Vontobel family’s active involvement reinforces our commitment to sustainable growth and lasting client relationships.
