Bank Sarasin opens new office in Berne

Today Bank Sarasin & Co. Ltd celebrates the opening of a new office in Berne. The Bank is now ready to serve clients from its new premises in Waisenhausplatz 10. Berne is the fifth office, along with Basel, Geneva, Lugano and Zurich, to be set up in Switzerland by the internationally active private bank, and will allow Sarasin to tap into the promising market potential in the region of Berne and central Switzerland. The Berne office will therefore be another key element of the Bank's growth strategy for its home market. Sarasin is not only carving out an attractive market presence in the nation’s capital, but is building a platform for serving clients in Berne and its outlying areas.

Opening a new office in the heart of Berne is a logical progression of Bank Sarasin's growth strategy and underscores the importance of its home market. With its emphasis on a sustainable investment philosophy, the bank offers clients more long-term benefits such as experience, expertise and tradition – which have always featured strongly at Bank Sarasin.

Experienced team with a local banking knowledge

New recruits will eventually be added to the current team of six, who will assure the necessary quality and performance, offering comprehensive, personalised investment advice and banking services to clients in the surrounding region. The team in Berne not only draws on a vast pool of banking know-how, but also has excellent local contacts. The new branch manager, Piero Huwyler, combines a strong management record with a strong network in the region and many years experience of delivering investment advisory and asset management services to private clients both in Switzerland and abroad.
