The firm has hired four new members to its Swiss wealth management operation, three from Credit Suisse and one from UBS.

Swiss banking group Mirabaud & Cie has appointed four new members to its wealth management operation in the North West of Switzerland. Meanwhile, the Basel branch of the private bank has relocated to the Hardhof Building, the firm said in a statement.

Hires
Mirabaud appointed Kaspar Hess, Christoph Kobler, Roger von Arx and Chantal Bieri to bolster its operation in Switzerland. 

Hess, Kobler and von Arx, who were all relationship managers, join the firm from Credit Suisse. 

Bieri has joined Mirabaud from UBS, where she was an assistant.

Mirabaud’s private management team based in Basel now comprises 15 staff. 

Move
The arrival of these new hires coincides with the relocation of the Basel branch of Mirabaud & Cie to the Hardhof building. 

This historical building, erected in 1904 and located in the Gellert district, has been renovated to service Mirabaud clients.

“These new additions to the team will place their professional skills at the service of our clients,” said Nicolas Mirabaud, a limited partner of the Mirabaud Group, a member of the executive committee and head of wealth management. “As with Zurich, where we have been present since 1998, Basel is a major hub for private management in Switzerland. By adding to its Basel team and moving its branch into a prestigious historical building, Mirabaud is showing that while it is a Group on an international scale, it still has its roots in Switzerland.” 

In January, this publication reported that Mirabaud had hired four people into its private banking group in the UK.
