Lombard Odier & Cie SA

General description of organisation

The Lombard Odier story is unique. Since 1796, we’ve been solely dedicated to providing wealth and asset management services for our clients. We now look after around CHF200 billion for them, having grown through over 40 financial crises by only taking risks that we fully understand and are prepared to take ourselves. We are one of the best-capitalised banks in the world, with a highly liquid and conservatively invested balance sheet. Being wholly owned by our partners allows us to plot a steady course, independent of short-term market pressures. And we’ve been innovating for more than 200 years: from the advice we give, to the investment strategies we manage and the much sought-after technology platform we’ve developed. Our heritage may be Swiss, but with more than 25 offices and employees of 80 nationalities, our outlook and approach is distinctly international.

At Lombard Odier, social responsibility is part of our DNA. As a firm we are committed to the principles of equality, sustainability and well-being, both in our working practices and in our investment activities. Lombard Odier was one of the first institutions to include environmental and social criteria in its financial research, and to offer its clients investment that have a sustainable impact on the environment, society and the world. Engaged in microfinance since 1998, today Lombard Odier is a well-respected provider of Impact Investing solutions.
