Appointment of two managing partners, the Chairman of the Executive Committee of private bank Mirabaud & Cie SA and a Limited Partner

Yves Mirabaud, the Senior Managing Partner, is delighted with these appointments, which will come into effect in 2019, given that it is “an important year as Mirabaud will be cele- brating the bicentenary of its foundation. Our Board of Managing Partners is being bolstered by two people who already hold positions of responsibility within our Group and actively contribute to its success. These changes ensure the continuity of Mirabaud’s governance with twenty-seven Managing Partners having presided over the Bank’s destiny since 1819. This guarantees our independence and focus on the long term, as well as the quality of the tailored and high value added service that we offer to our clients on a daily basis”.

Nicolas Mirabaud and Michael Palma will be joining the four current Managing Partners of the Mirabaud Group, that is to say, by order of seniority, Yves Mirabaud, Antonio Palma, Lionel Aeschlimann and Camille Vial. As both co-owners and directors, Managing Partners are personally invested in the Group’s strategy and make sure that its clients’ assets are managed with the same care and concern for continuity as the company itself.

Antonio Palma, the current CEO of Mirabaud & Cie SA, welcomes the fact that he will be succeeded by Camille Vial: “A Managing Partner since January 2012 and member of the Bank’s Executive Committee, Camille Vial has all the qualities and skills required to excel as Chairman of the Bank’s Executive Committee. After ten years in this exciting office, I have decided that it is time to hand over the reins. I will still be on the Board of Managing Partners until 31th December 2019 to ensure a smooth transition.”

The Board of Managing Partners has also appointed Thiago Frazao as a limited partner. Currently responsible for the Wealth Management Latin American market, he will be join- ing Etienne d’Arenberg, limited partner and responsible for the UK Wealth Management market. As investors in the company, limited partners hold management roles and help shape the development of the Group.
