The firm believes that the addition of Lombard Odier’s clients and their relationship managers are an “excellent fit” to its business.

“We look forward to maintaining these valued and long-standing client relationships at J. Safra Sarasin.
“This acquisition is another step forward in the growth strategy of the Group as we continue to play a leading role in the consolidation of the Swiss and European private banking sector.”
