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.

Family-owned business

As a family-controlled, publicly listed company, Vontobel combines in­de­pen­dence, transparency, and strategic stability to navigate challenges and remain accountable to strict market standards.

Financial stability

We match short-term deposits with assets of similar maturity and liquidity, holding mainly high-quality, tradable bonds and lending conservatively.

Performance-focused model

We use a high-conviction, active investment approach, building long-term partnerships with clients. This fosters specialized expertise and drives strong results.

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.
