For eight years, Vontobel has been serving wealth management clients from its branch in Ticino, which it acquired through the takeover of Finter Bank. With this step, Vontobel consciously sent out a positive signal to the Italian-speaking region. "Vontobel is clearly demonstrating that it sees growth potential in the area of active wealth and asset management, coupled with individual investment solutions, in the Italian-speaking region," was the message back at the beginning in October 2015.

Today, around three dozen Vontobel specialists serve wealth management clients in Lugano, Switzerland's third-largest financial center, and Locarno. These clients can also access the global investment knowhow of more than 300 Vontobel investment experts.
