E. Gutzwiller & Cie. Banquiers

E. Gutzwiller & Cie. Banquiers is a Swiss private bank headquartered in Basel, founded in 1886, focusing on wealth management and investment services for private clients, families, and selected institutions. It operates as a traditional Swiss private banking partnership and is a member of the Association of Swiss Private Bankers; the bank is supervised by FINMA and participates in the Swiss deposit protection scheme esisuisse (statutory coverage up to CHF 100,000 per client for eligible deposits). Its offering centers on discretionary portfolio management and investment advisory, with custody, securities brokerage and execution, and access to in-house and third-party funds through affiliated asset management entities; Lombard lending against liquid portfolios is available subject to collateral and risk policies. The bank does not position itself as a retail provider and generally does not offer mass-market products; digital access is typically limited to e-banking and reporting, with account opening and ongoing suitability reviews handled through direct relationship management. Cross-border services are provided in line with local regulations, which can limit product availability depending on client domicile. Pricing commonly includes tiered management and custody fees, transaction commissions, and foreign-exchange charges; performance fees may apply to specific mandates or funds. Prospective clients should expect standard Swiss due diligence and minimum relationship sizes, and should note that deposit insurance does not cover securities (which remain subject to market risk) and that lending, if offered, may be subject to margin calls and interest rate adjustments.
