Founded in 1796, Lombard Odier is the oldest private bank in Geneva and one of the largest in Switzerland and in Europe. An independent family business for seven generations, it is run by six managing partners. Since they are both owners and managers, the success of their business is as important to them as it is to their clients. Its international presence, with over 25 offices worldwide, allows it to keep in close contact with the markets in the principal financial centres.
