A New Address in Zurich, Reflecting Our Long-Term Vision

After 36 years in Zurich, NS Partners has entered a new chapter with the relocation of its local office to the Weisses Schloss, one of the city’s most iconic historic buildings. More than a change of address, this move reflects our long-term commitment to Zurich and our continued investment in the future of the Group.

Located at General-Guisan-Quai 30, on the shores of Lake Zurich, the Weisses Schloss is a landmark building that has long been part of the city’s architectural heritage. Its combination of history, elegance and modern infrastructure makes it a natural home for our Zurich team and a fitting setting for the values that have guided NS Partners for more than six decades.

NS Partners Zurich: Strengthening Our Presence in Switzerland’s Leading Financial Centre

Zurich has played an important role in the development of NS Partners for more than three decades. Since 1990, our local office has supported private and institutional clients while contributing to the growth of the Group’s wealth management and asset management activities. Today, the Zurich office offers not only private wealth management services, but also access to a broad range of multi-manager and long-only investment strategies.

The relocation to the Weisses Schloss underscores the strategic importance of Zurich within our organisation and reflects our ambition to continue developing our activities in Switzerland’s leading financial centre over the long term.

A Building That Reflects Our Values

Built at the end of the nineteenth century, the Weisses Schloss is among Zurich’s most recognisable historic buildings. Recent renovations have preserved its distinctive character while integrating modern infrastructure and high-quality standards.

For NS Partners, the significance of this move extends beyond the building itself. The Weisses Schloss embodies qualities that resonate strongly with our own identity: heritage, independence, stability and a long-term perspective. These values have shaped our approach since 1964 and continue to guide us as we look towards the future.

Our move to the Weisses Schloss marks an important milestone for our Zurich office. This unique location reflects the identity of NS Partners, combining heritage, high standards and a forward-looking vision, while reinforcing our long-term commitment to our clients and partners. Pascal Scherer, Head of Zurich Office

Supporting Future Growth

The new premises provide additional space and an enhanced working environment for clients, partners and employees alike. More importantly, they support the next phase of development for our Zurich operations and reinforce our ability to serve clients with the proximity, expertise and independence that define NS Partners.

The strengthening of our presence in Zurich is fully aligned with NS Partners’ development strategy. It reflects our ambition to continue offering our clients proximity, independent expertise and a high-quality environment that meets our standards. Frédéric de Poix, CEO

The relocation comes at a time when NS Partners continues to invest in its future growth and long-term development, following the governance evolution announced in late 2025.

Looking Ahead

Over the past 60 years, NS Partners has evolved from a Swiss private banking specialist into an international wealth and asset management group serving private and institutional clients across multiple jurisdictions. With more than CHF 15 billion in assets under management or administration and offices in Geneva, Zurich, London, Luxembourg, Madrid, Milan and Bermuda, the Group continues to invest in its people, its infrastructure and its long-term growth.

Our new Zurich office represents another step in that journey and reaffirms our commitment to building enduring relationships with our clients while remaining true to the principles that have defined NS Partners since its founding: independence, excellence and a long-term perspective.

NS Partners Announces Partnership with Swiss Athlete Anina Hirzel

Supporting promising Swiss athlete Anina Hirzel as she takes the next step on the international stage.

NS Partners is proud to announce a new partnership with Anina Hirzel, one of the country’s most promising young middle- and long-distance runners.

At just 19 years old, Anina has already built an impressive record, including multiple podium finishes at Swiss Championships, a bronze medal at the U18 Mountain Running World Championships and participation in major international competitions. Her ambition is clear: continue progressing on the international stage and pursue her long-term goal of competing among the world’s elite athletes.

This announcement comes at a particularly exciting moment. In the coming days, Anina will represent Switzerland at the World Athletics U20 Championships in Eugene, Oregon, where some of the world’s most talented young athletes will compete on the international stage.

At NS Partners, we believe that success is built over time through commitment, discipline, perseverance and a willingness to pursue ambitious goals. These values resonate strongly with Anina’s journey and are at the heart of what attracted us to her project.

Sport has long been part of NS Partners’ culture. Whether through team challenges, employee-led sporting initiatives or collective projects such as Swim4LémanHope, we have seen how sport brings people together around shared values of commitment, resilience and mutual support. In this respect, Anina’s journey resonates naturally with the spirit that already exists within our organisation and the importance we place on long-term wellbeing, personal development and collective achievement.

More than a sponsorship, this partnership reflects a shared belief in long-term ambition, discipline and perseverance. At a pivotal moment in her career, Anina is earning her place on the international stage through talent, hard work and determination. We are proud to support her as she continues to push her limits and pursue her goals at the highest level of the sport.

Elite sport is often judged by results, yet those results are only the visible outcome of years of dedication, sacrifice and resilience. What makes Anina’s journey remarkable is not only her achievements to date, but also her commitment to continuous improvement and her determination to compete among the very best. It is this mindset, as much as the performances themselves, that inspires our support.

Every training session, every competition and every challenge is another step on the journey. I am grateful to have NS Partners supporting me as I continue working towards my long-term dream of competing at the highest international level. – Anina Hirzel

As she embarks on this next chapter of her sporting career, we are proud to stand alongside her and look forward to following her progress in the years ahead.

About Anina Hirzel

Alvaro Lopez-Aranda Robles joins NS PARTNERS as Country Head for Spain

We are delighted to welcome Alvaro López-Aranda Robles as our new Country Head for Spain. With more than 20 years of experience in private banking and wealth advisory, Álvaro will lead the development of NS Partners’ private and institutional offering in the Spanish market.

Alvaro joins NS Partners with over 20 years of experience in private banking, wealth advisory and financial structuring for ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWI), family offices and institutions.

He was most recently Senior UHNWI Strategy Consultant at OpenWealth, part of the CaixaBank Group, where he played a central role in building the group’s MFO and independent advisory business. His earlier career includes leadership roles at Barclays Wealth, and a strong foundation in financial tax law and M&A at Garrigues & Andersen.

“NS Partners is a firm built on independence, continuity and client trust,” says López-Aranda, “I’m honoured to join a team whose values I share, and to contribute to the development of its Spanish operations.”
