The company offers comprehensive services including investment solutions such as multi-asset management and advisory; wealth services encompassing estate and succession planning, corporate finance, and personalized portfolio management; credit and financing options; e-banking platforms; services for independent asset managers; private client trusts; and institutional fund administration; as well as global markets and treasury operations. It operates through key segments comprising Private Banking and Wealth Management (divided regionally into Switzerland, Continental Europe, the Americas including the United States, Canada, the Bahamas and Cayman Islands, the United Kingdom, and Asia including Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan), Asset Management, and Investment and Wealth Solutions, with a presence in over 40 locations across Europe, Asia Pacific, the Americas, and the Middle East serving clients in more than 50 countries.
Founded in 1995 and headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, EFG International employs approximately 3,000 staff, including over 650 client relationship officers, and manages significant assets under management, reported at CHF 21.4 billion as of late 2022 with subsequent net new money inflows such as CHF 1.3 billion in Q2 2023.
In recent developments, EFG International completed the acquisition of Swiss private bank Cité Gestion in 2025, initially announced in February 2025, strengthening its domestic wealth management capabilities while allowing Cité Gestion to operate as an independent subsidiary serving ultra-high-net-worth clients in Switzerland, Western Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East; the deal is expected to be accretive to earnings per share by 2026. Additionally, its Sydney-based subsidiary Shaw and Partners Financial Services agreed to acquire a 75% stake in New Zealand's Investment Services Group for NZ$67.5 million, expanding its Asia-Pacific footprint. These moves align with EFG's strategy of combining organic growth with targeted value-accretive acquisitions in key markets.
