Julius Baer

Julius Baer gives private clients advice on wealth planning, investing and financing and focuses solely on this business. At the end of June 2026, the group managed CHF 547 billion in client assets and employed 7,675 people in full-time equivalents, among them 1,247 relationship managers. Asia is the second home market of the group after Switzerland, and the office in Singapore grew from 34 employees in 2006 to more than 1,000.

Julius Baer has offices in around 25 countries and 60 locations, among them Frankfurt, Dublin, Luxembourg, London, Dubai, Hong Kong and Singapore. The shares of Julius Baer Group Ltd. are listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange of SIX Group under the ticker BAER, and they belong to the Swiss Leader Index of the 30 largest Swiss stocks.

In February 2019, Julius Baer agreed a partnership with SEBA, a crypto start-up in Zug in which the bank had made a minority investment the year before. After SEBA received its license from FINMA, Julius Baer launched digital asset services in January 2020 for clients booked in Switzerland. The services covered storage and transactions, and clients saw conventional and digital assets together in one portfolio overview. SEBA is now called AMINA Bank, and it holds the tokens of Julius Baer clients as sub-custodian, in hot and cold storage.

Clients can invest directly in crypto tokens or indirectly through exchange-traded products, structured products, funds and alternative strategies. In 2025, Julius Baer expanded its crypto token offering to 20 tokens that clients can trade, hold in custody and transfer. Every incoming transfer passes a forensic blockchain analysis of the wallet address and a proof-of-ownership check. On a case-by-case basis, clients can also pledge crypto tokens as collateral to meet their financing needs.

JAI is the generative AI assistant that Julius Baer built for its employees, and it runs on the premises of the bank, so client data stays under its control. Since its launch in 2024, JAI has become part of daily work, and the vast majority of employees use it for tasks such as translations and searches in investment research. An AI Risk Management Framework and mandatory training set the rules for this use.

Relationship managers work in Wealth Navigator, an advisory platform for wealth planning, investment advice, discretionary mandates and research, with AI tools that suggest investments. In the first half of 2026, the bank extended direct order placement in Wealth Navigator from Singapore and Hong Kong to its booking center in Switzerland. In compliance, an AI layer checks names and news reports in client screening, and a payment AI agent processes payment instructions with fewer errors.

Julius Baer is the first financial institution to join the Swiss National AI Institute, which ETH Zurich and EPFL run together. The bank started its AI work in 2021 with a small team in Singapore that tested voice-to-text solutions and early tools to support advisors.
