Julius Baer Is a Unique Pure-Play Wealth Manager

Johann Scholtz

The strong secular trend where very wealthy individuals grow their wealth ahead of the growth in global GDP is set to remain in place. The demand for bespoke financial planning and wealth management services will continue to be strong. However, we anticipate that fee margins will remain under pressure as competition increases with many financial services firms expanding their presence in the wealth management market.

Company Profile

Julius Baer was founded in 1890 and expanded significantly in 2005 when it acquired three Swiss private banks and Global Asset Management from its far larger Swiss rival, UBS. In 2009, Baer spun off GAM as a separately listed firm. The acquisition of Merrill Lynch's wealth management operations outside of the U.S. in 2012 increased Baer's assets under management by 40% and increased its footprint outside of Europe. Julius Baer is currently the largest pure-play private bank in Switzerland and the third-largest Swiss private bank. Baer provides private banking services principally to individuals in Switzerland and Europe and increasingly in Asia and other emerging markets.
