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.

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.”

This appointment also marks the beginning of a smooth leadership transition, as Juan Carlos Hergueta gradually steps aside from his executive responsibilities following many years of dedicated service as Country Head for Spain. NS Partners warmly thanks Juan Carlos for his major contribution to the growth of the Spanish business and his long-standing commitment to the firm and its clients.

NS PARTNERS has operated in Spain since 2001 under the EU freedom to provide services and established a permanent branch in 2012. The appointment of Alvaro López-Aranda underscores the firm’s commitment to long-term development and continuity in the Spanish market.
Founded in Geneva in 1964, NS PARTNERS manages over CHF 13 billion in assets and provides services in three main areas: Wealth Management, Asset Management and Fund Structuring via its Luxembourg-based Management Company. The firm operates across key European financial centres with a distinctive focus on quality, independence and conviction-driven portfolio management.

OUR PIONEERING SPIRIT LIVES ON

This pioneering spirit continues to drive us today. Because we know that companies are only so strong as their ability to reinvent themselves, we remain true to our heritage, with our sights always set on the future.

Together, we will imagine the shape of things to come.

INVESTING FOR TOMORROW

We like to say that we are 60 years young.

Because we are never satisfied and we never rest on our laurels. And because we know that looking in the rearview mirror cannot help us avoid future obstacles, we are always looking ahead.

Hiring the future talents. Investing in technology to constantly improve our processes and the quality of your relationship with us.

So you will feel at home. Confident that we are the right partner for you.

NS Partners, still young at 60?

60 YEARS OF INVESTING WITH TALENT

In 1964, our founder Beat Notz realised that there were a small number of exceptional fund managers in the world who devised new investment strategies that could deliver superior results in most market conditions. So we developed a simple but revolutionary concept: to invest with these unique talents wherever they may be, without limiting his scope to the expertise available in-house.

By doing so, we essentially invented hedge fund selection and multi-manager investing.

IT’S TALENT THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

Far from the current trend towards standardized investments, we are convinced that there are a few talented individuals who can make a difference.

This is why, year after year, we identify the best money managers worldwide, with whom we’ve established long-lasting relationships.

To complement these external skills and build our own in-house talent pool, we also hire highly qualified professionals to develop our own investment strategies.

When it comes to investing, we follow an immutable rule: you can’t get ahead by following the pack. That’s why we actively manage our portfolios, without constraints and on the basis of strong convictions.

A PIONEERING SPIRIT THAT STILL DRIVES US TODAY

This founding idea met with great success and NS Partners has grown to become one of the leading independent asset managers in Switzerland.

Today, rather than resting on our laurels, we remain driven by the same pioneering spirit. Because we know that companies are only so strong as their ability to reinvent themselves, we remain true to our heritage, with our sights always set on the future.
