The bank's former top investment banker has launched a family office.
Roger Studer, the former long-standing Vontobel investment banking head, left the family-controlled firm at the end of 2019 as part of a reorganization.
He's resurfacing with Studer Family Office, which according to the firm's website «manages and invests the assets of the Studer family and dear friend.»
Unit Dissolved
The vehicle, based in tax-friendly Pfaeffikon, until now is simply Studer himself as chairman. The family office is interested in investments including project finance, real estate, and structured finance.
Studer worked for Vontobel for 20 years and contributed to the bank's heady growth in investment banking, including structured products. The investment bank was effectively dissolved last year in a massive reorganization to focus on investment management.
