Location:
Zurich or Geneva, Switzerland Some relationships span generations. Your platform should be built for the same horizon. Swiss onshore is the most competitive desk in the country, and the one our clients most want to build. The families and entrepreneurs behind these relationships often hold their business, their property and their wealth in the same canton, and they expect an adviser who understands all three. What has changed is who can serve them well. Lending against Swiss operating businesses, succession and pension planning, and a genuine understanding of the local market now matter more than the size of the balance sheet behind you. At some point, every accomplished adviser asks the same question: Does my current institution still provide the best platform for my clients? The Opportunity These appointments are intended for professionals with established relationships across German speaking and French speaking Switzerland. Depending on the institution, the opportunity may include:
• Booking in Zurich and Geneva, with a genuine onshore franchise rather than a booking desk
• Sophisticated investment and discretionary portfolio management
• Lombard and operating company lending, and structured financing
• Pension, succession and wealth planning expertise for Swiss families
• Access to both banks and established independents
• Leadership opportunities and long term franchise development The objective is simple: provide exceptional professionals with a stronger platform from which to serve exceptional clients. You May Recognise Yourself You have earned your clients' confidence through thoughtful advice, consistency and discretion. Many of your relationships extend across generations, and several of your clients run the businesses their families built. You value long term stewardship over short term transactions, and you believe the quality of your institution should match the quality of your advice. Why Exceptional Professionals Move Successful private bankers rarely move because another institution offers more compensation. They move because another platform allows them to create greater long term value for the clients who have trusted them for years. We work with banks and with independents, which means the platform can be matched to how you actually want to work, rather than the other way round. Executive Remuneration Depending on the institution and the strength of the client franchise, fixed annual remuneration typically ranges between CHF 350,000 and CHF 500,000, complemented by highly competitive long term incentive arrangements. For exceptional professionals, total annual remuneration may substantially exceed CHF 1 million. Absolute Confidentiality Every confidential discussion is conducted personally by a Partner of DES Capital. Your identity and information will never be shared without your explicit prior authorisation. Every important client relationship begins with a conversation. So does every important career decision. If you believe another platform could better serve both you and your clients, we would welcome a confidential discussion.
