The core markets include Switzerland, Austria and Liechtenstein, and in particular Eastern Europe/CIS (including Greece and Turkey), as well as portions of the American and Asian continents.
Going forward, the focus will be on strengthening the business in our home markets as well as in the growth markets of Eastern Europe/CIS, Latin America and Asia. The Group can draw upon many years of positive experience in working with selected intermediaries in these markets for acquiring new clients. At the same time, the Valartis banks can count on senior relationship managers with local expertise for developing markets and providing client service in various countries and regions. The multitude of languages – in the Private Banking segment at Valartis more than 25 languages are spoken – is just one example of how close the Group is to its clients.
