Zurich-based Maerki Baumann & Co. AG has once more been able to confirm its position at the top of Switzerland’s private banking charts in 2022 after again being named the best Swiss private bank by the business magazine “Bilanz”. This is the fourth year in which Maerki Baumann won after taking top spot in 2021 and 2017 in addition to second place in 2019. Due to receiving the award once more, Maerki Baumann has also been declared a longstanding quality leader. The renowned private bank rating of the business magazine “Bilanz”, which sees a real private client accompanied on their search for a suitable bank, has been conducted for a 14th time. In total, around 100 banks were invited to prepare an investment solution based on a comprehensive request. This year, the dimensions of interaction between client advisors and their clients, the provision of holistic investment solutions, transparency, costs, risk disclosure and portfolio structure were once again assessed by a jury comprising several members. Maerki Baumann came through all test phases with flying colours and won the award for best Swiss private bank in the final. This success underlines the high level of reliability demonstrated by the traditional Zurich-based bank, which it has been able to maintain for many years despite changing client needs and framework conditions. We are delighted to have received these awards once more.
