Robert-Charrue noted: “Germany and Italy are amongst the most attractive wealth management markets in Europe and therefore strategic core markets for Julius Baer.

“I am excited to add such high-profile bankers to my team, and am confident that with Patrick’s and Ettore’s long-standing expertise we will be able to accelerate our growth and further leverage our franchise internationally and domestically.”

Meanwhile, Julius Baer also hired five bankers, including three senior relationship managers and an investment adviser, to its Chile office.

The newly-hired employees are Sebastián Fernández, Jaime Ochagavía, Jaime Aviles, Sebastián Vives, and Santiago Navarrete.

The new hires will begin at Julius Baer on 1 October 2019.

Julius Baer head of Latin America Beatriz Sanchez said: “Julius Baer already has the largest local presence of any international wealth manager in Chile, and these appointments accelerate our growth momentum on the ground.”
