Best Private Banks in Switzerland

Julius Baer, LGT Bank Switzerland, and Credit Suisse are amongst the best private banks in Switzerland:

Julius Baer has received the 'Best Private Bank in Switzerland' award for the second consecutive year from the renowned FT Group publications 'The Banker' and 'Professional Wealth Management' (PWM). In addition, the bank has won two 2012 awards from Asian Private Banker. It has been named “Best Boutique Private Bank in Asia” and “Best Private Bank – External Asset Manager's Choice”.

LGT Bank Switzerland was ranked 1st in the 2011 rating of private banks carried out by the Swiss business magazine Bilanz. In the 2011 private banking rating, 66 banks were asked to draw up a comprehensive investment proposal for a client wishing to invest 15 million Swiss francs in order to use the income for retirement. The proposals made were assessed by the independent Munich-based Institut für Vermögensaufbau.

Credit Suisse has been named the Best Private Bank globally by Euromoney magazine for the third consecutive year. It has also received numerous regional and country awards as the best private bank, including in Switzerland. The accolades are based on the results of Euromoney's 2012 Private Banking Survey.
