In a phased acquisition that began with the sale of a 19.9% minority stake in 2013 and culminated in the acquisition of full ownership in 2018, Julius Baer purchased Kairos from its former equity partners.
Furthermore, Julius Baer sold 30% of Kairos to key Kairos executives in 2020, followed by additional involvement in 2021.
This deal complements Julius Baer’s tactical emphasis on its core business by enabling the company to prioritise and grow its business with Italian clients that are provided with services out of Switzerland and various other locations.
