Banque Pictet & Cie SA

Banque Pictet & Cie SA is the Swiss banking entity of the Pictet Group, a privately held partnership founded in 1805 and headquartered in Geneva. It focuses on wealth management, asset management and asset services for private clients, family offices and institutions, providing multi-currency accounts, securities custody and execution, advisory and discretionary portfolio mandates, access to funds and alternative investments, and secured lending such as Lombard loans; for institutions it offers asset servicing including global custody, fund administration and trading. The bank is supervised by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) and is subject to Swiss banking regulation; eligible Swiss deposits are protected by the esisuisse deposit insurance scheme up to CHF 100,000 per client. In 2014, Pictet reorganized its former unlimited-liability partnership by transferring banking activities to Banque Pictet & Cie SA, while remaining privately owned by a limited number of managing partners and not listed on a stock exchange; financial disclosures are provided via group reports rather than public equity filings. The group maintains booking centers and offices in Europe, Asia and the Americas to support cross-border services that are provided in line with local rules, including MiFID II in the EU, Switzerland’s FinSA, and international tax transparency regimes such as FATCA and CRS. Client eligibility, onboarding requirements and minimum asset thresholds vary by jurisdiction and service line, and fees generally consist of management or advisory charges, custody fees and transaction costs as set out in client agreements. Digital channels such as e-banking and consolidated reporting are available, and product availability is subject to suitability and cross-border constraints; all investment services involve market, liquidity and counterparty risks.
