No details have been released regarding the potential size of the deal, or of any prospective buyers.

BTG completed the purchase of BSI in September for CHF1.5bn ($1.5bn), from Italian insurer Generali. The deal increased BTG’s employee base from 3,500 to 5,400, and created a group with $186.5bn of assets under management (AuM).

The bank had hired a number of heavyweight professionals in conjunction with the September deal, such as Reto Kunz as chief risk officer (veteran in risk consulting) and Yves Bonzon as CIO (banking veteran from Pictet).
