Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at BvB & Cie?
Matthieu Berger serves as Chief Investment Officer and managing partner. He sets the investment framework from the Geneva office, while Guillaume van Berchem, Nicolas Stepczynski, and Jean-Blaise Rivier manage discretionary client portfolios as partners. The senior team of four partners has led the firm since at least the early 1990s.
Does BvB & Cie manage assets for institutions or only private wealth?
BvB holds a FINMA license as a collective asset manager, which authorizes it to administer assets for collective investment schemes and pension funds alongside its private client mandates. The firm lists this institutional capability on its website and in regulatory disclosures.
Where are BvB & Cie's offices located?
The firm's registered office is at 26, Rue de la Corraterie in Geneva, with a branch in Lausanne at 3, Cheneau-de-Bourg. The Lausanne office operates under partner Jean-Blaise Rivier and houses four portfolio managers.
How is BvB & Cie regulated?
BvB is supervised by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) as a licensed collective asset manager under the Federal Law on Financial Institutions and the Federal Law on Collective Investments. Its financial services to clients are governed by the Federal Law on Financial Services.
Does BvB & Cie custody client assets directly?
No. BvB operates a tripartite model in which client assets are held at independent custodian banks, not on BvB's own balance sheet. The firm describes this as a structural separation that reduces conflicts of interest, with client-bank relationships governed by separate contractual documents.
