Zurich, 21 November 2017

Rothschild Private Wealth impressed the Private Banking Prüfinstanz (PBPI) experts with its advisory excellence and secured first place in the category for the best advisory services. The rankings are drawn up on the basis of an in-depth assessment of asset management strategy, quality of the portfolio and transparency conducted by testers posing as real clients at around 65 banks in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Laurent Gagnebin, CEO of Rothschild Private Wealth in Switzerland: "This award means a great deal to us because it shows that our approach centred on objective advice free from conflicts of interest is effectively addressing our clients' needs. This excellent placing confirms that our long- term investment stance is striking a chord not just with our clients, but also with the panel of experts."

The winners of the Fuchsbriefe PBPI banking test were presented in Berlin on 20 November 2017.
