Landolt & Cie

Pierre Landolt serves as Chairman and represents the seventh generation of the founding family. Investment decisions are made through a partnership structure within the firm, blending family office priorities with the needs of external multi-family clients. The firm does not publicly disclose an independent CIO or investment committee composition.

The firm's deal flow relies heavily on the Landolt family's multi-generational network in Switzerland, Brazil, and Luxembourg. Its most notable sourcing advantage comes from decades of on-the-ground presence in Brazilian agriculture through SLC Agrícola, where the family has board representation and deep local relationships. Swiss real estate and private credit deals are sourced through long-standing banking relationships in Vaud, Geneva, and Zurich.

The Landolt family is a controlling or cornerstone shareholder in SLC Agrícola, one of Brazil's largest publicly traded agricultural producers. The firm actively participates in capital raises and corporate governance for SLC, which operates large-scale soybean, cotton, and corn farms across the Brazilian cerrado. SLC's listing on the B3 exchange in São Paulo provides a degree of liquidity and valuation transparency unusual for a family-office-linked agricultural portfolio.

Yes. Landolt & Cie operates as a multi-family office and asset manager, serving external private clients alongside the Landolt family's own capital. Its Swiss banking heritage and Luxembourg presence suggest it also structures cross-border wealth management for international families, though the firm does not publicly disclose its total client count.

Active. Through SLC Agrícola, the firm takes a direct operational and governance role rather than a passive fund-investment approach. SLC is an operating company that plants, harvests, and sells crops across hundreds of thousands of hectares, with the Landolt family influencing strategy, land acquisition, and capital allocation at the board level.

The Pierre Landolt Foundation serves as the family's primary philanthropic vehicle, focusing on biodiversity, sustainable agriculture, and rural community development. Its projects span both Brazil's Atlantic Forest — where the foundation supports reforestation and conservation — and the Swiss Alps, emphasizing a geographic link between the family's European roots and its South American agricultural interests.

The firm has co-invested alongside international institutions in SLC Agrícola, including during public equity raises. However, Landolt & Cie does not market co-investment fund structures to third-party LPs in the manner of a conventional private equity firm. Its partnerships are bespoke and relationship-driven, consistent with a multi-family office structure.
