Finezia is a “Grand Cru” among asset managers. As is the case with coffee, chocolate and wine, this is the very highest classification level. We aspire to be the best in everything we do: in the advice we give, the products we select and the services we offer our clients. Our investment and financing proposals are innovative and tailored to the needs of our clients. We know and understand our clients and communicate with them as equal partners.

The individuals who make up our outstanding team have extensive experience and a high degree of professional expertise in the financial industry, and dedicate all their efforts every day to advising clients in accordance with their objectives and needs.

Personal

We do not merely pay lip service to personal service; it is an integral element of our philosophy that is reflected in the manageable number of clients we serve. We focus on quality not quantity. Each client is entitled to our total commitment to customised service.

Solution-oriented

Our passion lays in our work. Our commitment goes far beyond our office premises. In doing so, we always look for suitable solutions when questions arise – also looking outside the box. Our attention is focused on ways and means to solve the issues brought to us in a sustainable and flawless way. We see challenges as opportunities to grow together with our customers.

Independent

As a partner-run limited company, we focus solely and exclusively on the interests of our clients. We have no proprietary products and offer individual solutions for discerning clients. Our independence allows us to address the needs of our clients in a straightforward, flexible manner.

«Our independence is our most valuable commodity.»
