According to the lender, Vontobel’s collaboration with EAMs is of strategic importance for the bank since this area of business is achieving continued growth.

Currently, Vontobel holds more than CHF5bn in assets on behalf of external asset managers and the figure is on the rise.

Also, the EAMs expect their partner banks to offer efficient support, especially in the areas of product information, research and administration.

Vontobel combines all of the relevant information on a central online platform that is tailored to the needs of external asset managers and is available exclusively to them.
