Thanks to the partnership with PensExpert, we will position ourselves more effectively in this growth area and advise our clients even more comprehensively. Our investment approach, which is based on a long-term perspective, is an excellent match for the pension needs of high-net-worth individuals. We are delighted to welcome experienced pensions expert, Thomas Bamert, to Rothschild & Co to support us as we further expand the footprint of the Swiss onshore business through pensions.”
