Swiss boutique private bank Bordier & Cie hosted a networking event in a joint partnership with online portal E-Merging and financial news site finews.asia in Singapore.
A crowd of over 150 people gathered on the garden terrace of Bordier’s office at CapitaGreen in Singapore last Thursday, where guests were treated to live performances by a DJ and a jazz saxophonist as they enjoyed an evening of casual networking with like-minded business professionals.
«Singapore is not only a great spot, it is also a vibrant financial center. Some would even argue it is the better Switzerland,» Claude Baumann, Founder and CEO of finews.asia, said in his speech.

Please have a look at it,» he added and: «What works in Switzerland with finews.ch might work in Singapore too, maybe even better as the growth in the financial industry is here. I think Evrard Bordier will agree with me.»
Evrard Bordier, Managing Partner and CEO of Bordier & Cie Singapore, addressed the sharply-dressed crowd with a closing speech for the evening. He said: «We are very happy with tonight’s turnout and hope to do similar partnerships and events with present and future partners.»
