At their fourth annual joint press conference in Berne, the Association of Swiss Private Banks (ASPB) and the Association of Swiss Asset and Wealth Management Banks (VAV) today presented the priorities of Swiss banks offering wealth management services for securing their future in an ever more demanding environment. The associations explained that implementing differentiated regulation and market access in particular would boost the competitiveness and vitality of Swiss private banks. The Chairmen of the two associations, Yves Mirabaud and Boris Collardi, took turns to outline a number of approaches for the future.

The Association of Swiss Private Banks initiates a string of videos, that will be uploaded over the months and will present the private banking professions through the specialists who practice them : analysts, client advisors, economists or traders. The intention is to provide a behind-the-scene look at these activities, that are too little known, yet essential to the economy.
