Switzerland has long been a cornerstone of global private banking and wealth management. As demand for private markets accelerates, the need for robust, scalable infrastructure has never been greater.
That's why I'm excited to share that Titanbay has established a Swiss Advisory Board, marking another important milestone in our growth across Switzerland and the wider EMEA region.
Why a Swiss Advisory Board?
Private markets are evolving rapidly. Swiss private banks and wealth managers are increasingly integrating alternatives into client portfolios. However, doing so responsibly requires the right operational foundations, governance, and local expertise.
Our Swiss Advisory Board will serve as a strategic sounding board. It will help us stay closely aligned with local market dynamics while continuing to build infrastructure that genuinely supports the needs of Swiss institutions and their clients.
In short: local insight, global ambition.
Meet the Advisory Board
I'm proud to work with some of the most respected leaders in the Swiss and European investment community.
Stefan Mächler, former CIO at Swiss Life Group, brings over 30 years of experience across investment management, asset allocation, and corporate leadership.
"Titanbay has built an impressive platform that addresses a real structural need in private markets. I look forward to supporting the business as it continues to scale in Switzerland."
Yves Robert Charrue, former Executive Board Member and Head of Switzerland & EMEA at Julius Baer, adds more than two decades of private banking expertise.
"As private markets play an increasingly important role in client portfolios, robust operational infrastructure and governance are essential. Titanbay is well positioned to support this development responsibly. I am delighted to contribute my expertise to Titanbay's ambitious way forward."
They are joined by Michael Gruener, Co-CEO of Titanbay, who brings over 20 years of global asset management experience and deep relationships across Swiss private banks and wealth managers.
"Establishing a Swiss Advisory Board ensures we remain closely aligned with local market dynamics and client needs as demand for private market access grows."
The Board is chaired by Timo Paul, Head of Switzerland at Titanbay. Based in Zurich, Timo brings senior leadership experience from Natixis Investment Managers, UBS Asset Management, and Credit Suisse Asset Management. He has a deep understanding of what Swiss clients need from their private markets infrastructure partners.
What This Means for Our Clients
This Advisory Board reinforces our long-term investment in Switzerland. It underlines our focus on:
- Supporting private banks and wealth managers as they scale private markets offerings.
- Delivering institutional-grade infrastructure with local relevance.
- Helping firms meet growing client demand with confidence and control.
As private markets continue to move from "nice to have" to core portfolio allocation, Titanbay is focused on being the partner that makes that transition seamless.
The Future of Private Markets
The landscape of private markets is changing. With the rise of alternative investments, clients are seeking more diverse options. This shift creates opportunities for wealth managers to enhance their offerings.
At Titanbay, we understand the complexities involved in these transitions. Our goal is to simplify the process for our partners. We want to empower them to meet their clients' evolving needs effectively.
Building Stronger Relationships
Establishing the Swiss Advisory Board is just one step. We aim to foster stronger relationships with our partners. By collaborating closely, we can share insights and strategies that drive success.
We believe that local expertise combined with a global perspective is key. Our Advisory Board members bring invaluable knowledge that will help us navigate the intricacies of the Swiss market.
