CV

Partner — Wealth & Investment Solutions

His work centres on wealth planning: structuring assets across banks, pension solutions and insurance so the parts work together rather than side by side. He coordinates with banks and pension institutions, brings investment, protection and tax questions into a single coherent picture, and also handles international situations where wealth has to be organised across borders and banking relationships. For his clients he remains the point of contact who keeps the overview — even when several institutions are involved. His standard is the care and individuality of private banking.

Transparency

We say clearly what we recommend and why, including alternatives and trade-offs. No hidden interests.

Personal commitment

We advise our clients personally, not through call-centres or rotating advisors. One face, one number, available long-term.
