Partners Capital opens Zurich office

(CONNECT) Partners Capital has opened a new office in Zurich. With this step, the internationally active investment firm, which operates two headquarters in Boston in the US State of Massachusetts and in London, intends to further expand its strong customer relationships in Switzerland, as detailed in a statement. The Zurich office is the company’s third location in Europe.

“Our formal expansion in Switzerland grows out of years partnering with some of the world’s most disciplined and thoughtful investors”, comments Arjun Raghavan, Chief Executive Officer of Partners Capital, adding that: “The sophisticated investing landscape, depth of relationships, and a shared conviction in patient, long-term capital makes Switzerland a natural place to deepen our presence and partner with the country’s leading institutions and families as they pursue their investment ambitions”. Jean-Claude Garo, Managing Director and Head of Switzerland, expressed his conviction that the move to expand the company’s presence in Switzerland will increase demand for customized portfolios and that a dedicated Zurich office will allow the company to serve the local investor community “with the full breadth and depth of our capabilities”. Garo previously worked at Spectrum Value Management for 15 years.

The Swiss subsidiary Partners Capital Switzerland has been authorized as a portfolio manager by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (Finma) and is supervised by SO-FIT, a supervisory organization authorized by Finma. ce/ww
