Banque Heritage CEO says he is too young to retire amid sale rumours
Banque Heritage CEO Marcos Esteve addressed rumours about a possible sale, saying he is too young to retire.
The Geneva-based Swiss private bank serves about 2,000 wealthy clients, including families and business owners.
It says it aims to offer personal service rather than the standardised approach of larger banks.
Its family-office services can review clients’ assets held at different banks and assess costs, performance and investment strategy across their wealth.
The bank wants to grow sustainably, with more than 20 employees in Zurich and plans to expand there and at other locations.
It also says finding younger advisers is important to maintain client relationships as experienced advisers retire.
Banque Heritage’s chief executive says he is too young to retire amid rumours about a sale of the bank.
The bank serves around 2,000 clients, according to the interview.
About 30 percent of its clients are from Switzerland and about 40 percent from elsewhere in Europe.
The CEO says the bank aims to grow sustainably and deepen relationships with existing clients.
Banque Heritage has more than 20 employees in Zurich, mainly in client-facing roles.
