Rather than pursuing rapid expansion, Mirabaud's UK business is focused on sustainable, organic growth driven by selective recruitment and a strong collaborative culture. Stuart Bates explains why attracting the right talent and preserving the firm's entrepreneurial spirit remain central to its long-term development.
The interview also explores how technology is reshaping the private banking landscape. While Mirabaud is investing significantly in the modernisation of its core banking platform and the integration of artificial intelligence, these innovations are viewed as a way to enhance client service rather than replace the human relationship at the heart of wealth management.
Looking ahead, Stuart Bates highlights the importance of helping Clients navigate intergenerational wealth transfer, behavioural biases and an increasingly complex geopolitical environment. In a rapidly changing industry, he argues that long-term success will continue to depend on trusted advice, disciplined investing and lasting client relationships.
