Julius Baer International CEO David Durlacher said: “Establishing a presence in Scotland provides our clients with unrivalled local knowledge combined with a global perspective and a unique pure-play offering. This move represents the next step in our long-term commitment to serving and growing our presence in the UK and Irish markets.”
The new office will be based at One Lochrin Square in Edinburgh and is scheduled to open in the second quarter of 2018.
The office will be led by Gordon Scott, the bank’s team head for Scotland, Northern Ireland and the North West of England.
In August 2017, the Swiss bank announced plans to expand presence in the UK and Ireland. In November that year, the bank hired wealth management professionals from Barclays to meet its expansion plans.
In January 2018, Julius Baer appointed Calum Brewster as its new head of UK regional offices.
“We are delighted to establish a permanent presence in the Scottish market and to welcome this strong and experienced team to Julius Baer International,” Brewster noted.
