Bordier & Cie SCmA

Bordier & Cie SCmA is a Swiss private bank founded in 1844 and headquartered in Geneva, operating under a partnership limited by shares (société en commandite par actions) in which managing partners bear unlimited liability. The bank is supervised by FINMA in Switzerland and operates internationally through regulated entities, including in the United Kingdom (FCA), France (AMF/ACPR), and Singapore (MAS). Its business focuses on private banking and wealth management for high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients, families, family offices, foundations, and external asset managers, offering discretionary and advisory portfolio management, custody and execution, multi-currency accounts, secured lending (e.g., Lombard credit), and access to listed securities and, where permitted, structured products and alternative investments. Client assets are held in custody under Swiss segregation rules; Swiss deposit protection via esisuisse applies to eligible deposits up to CHF 100,000 per client per bank, while investments are not covered. Fees vary by mandate and location and typically include management and custody fees, brokerage or spread on transactions, and, where applicable, performance fees and third‑party product costs disclosed in the fee schedule. Cross‑border availability of services and products depends on local regulation, and onboarding generally requires enhanced documentation (identification, source of wealth, tax compliance); the bank targets clients meeting higher minimum asset thresholds. Access is provided through relationship managers, e‑banking, and consolidated reporting; the firm also provides custody and execution for external asset managers. Booking and service are available in Switzerland and selected international locations, including London, Paris, and Singapore, with local regulatory permissions determining the scope of activity. Credit services carry collateral and margin‑call risks; portfolios are exposed to market, interest‑rate, credit, and currency risk according to mandate. The bank’s SCmA structure and partner governance influence capital and liability arrangements but do not change client risk on invested assets. Prospective clients should verify current licensing, country coverage, minimums, and fee schedules with the relevant Bordier entity before initiating an account.
