Piguet Galland & Cie SA

Piguet Galland & Cie SA is a Swiss private bank focused on wealth management and investment services, operating mainly in French‑speaking Switzerland as a subsidiary of Banque Cantonale Vaudoise (BCV). Created in 2011 through the combination of BCV’s private‑banking activities, it offers discretionary and advisory portfolio management, securities custody and execution, investment funds and structured products, wealth planning, and credit solutions such as Lombard lending; mortgage financing may be available to eligible Swiss‑resident clients subject to underwriting. The bank is licensed and supervised by FINMA and participates in the Swiss deposit insurance scheme (esisuisse), which protects up to CHF 100,000 per client for eligible deposits; client securities are held under Swiss custody segregation rules. It operates under Swiss AML requirements and international tax‑transparency regimes (FATCA/CRS) and applies FinSA provisions on client classification, documentation, best execution, and inducement disclosure; cross‑border services are limited to permitted jurisdictions and client categories, and residents of certain countries may face restrictions. The offering targets high‑net‑worth individuals and families; onboarding criteria, minimums, and service availability vary by domicile and mandate. Fees follow a typical Swiss private‑banking structure with management or advisory fees, custody fees, and transaction charges, and any third‑party retrocessions are handled according to Swiss law; current tariffs are available from the bank on request. Clients receive periodic portfolio and tax reporting and can use secure e‑banking and mobile channels for account viewing and communications. Piguet Galland is a separate legal entity within the BCV Group and is consolidated for financial reporting purposes, but it does not benefit from a cantonal guarantee; counterparty, market, currency, and liquidity risks linked to investment services remain with the client according to the selected mandate. Prospective clients should verify eligibility, documentation requirements, minimums, and fees directly with the bank before initiating a relationship.
