One Swiss Private Wealth
The firm was established as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gonet & Cie SA, the Geneva-based private bank founded in 1845. That parentage connects ONE swiss private wealth to one of Switzerland's oldest independent banking partnerships, though the Dubai operation operates under its own DFSA license with a separate executive board led by CEO Zafar Khan. The entity serves high-net-worth individuals, families, family offices, and institutional clients from its headquarters in the Burj Daman tower inside the DIFC. Its stated cultural posture — "Beyond convention" — reflects an attempt to distinguish a legacy private-banking offer through a more entrepreneurial, Middle East-facing vehicle. The firm delivers portfolio management and advisory services across traditional and alternative asset classes through a relationship-driven model. It leans heavily on the Swiss booking-center infrastructure of its parent, which maintains offices in Geneva, Lugano, and Zurich, while directing client coverage and regional execution from Dubai. The DFSA license restricts the firm to servicing Professional Clients only, meaning it does not onboard retail investors. Publicly confirmed investment positions or co-investment vehicles are not disclosed, consistent with the privacy norms of Swiss and DIFC private banking. As of the latest available profile, the firm has not published total assets under management or a headcount breakdown beyond its named executive board and board of directors. The website lists a multi-generational experience tag of "more than 50 years of experience" at the group level. The board includes Chairman Wahbe Tamari and directors Yann Mrazek, Jean-Jacques Schraemli, Omar Kamal, and CEO Zafar Khan, combining legal, governance, and regional market expertise. There is no public disclosure of a parallel philanthropic foundation, venture-capital arm, or external investment-club membership tied to the OSPW entity. The structure is the differentiator: ONE swiss private wealth functions as a regulated DIFC subsidiary of a historic Swiss private bank, giving it the legal separateness of a standalone asset-management company with the balance-sheet depth and multi-jurisdictional custody rails of Gonet & Cie. That architecture lets the firm position itself as a "Swiss-made" private-wealth offering operating under common-law DIFC regulation, a pairing that remains unusual among independent Middle Eastern wealth managers.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at ONE swiss private wealth?
CEO Zafar Khan leads the executive board and is the most senior investment-facing principal disclosed publicly. The board of directors — chaired by Wahbe Tamari and including Yann Mrazek, Jean-Jacques Schraemli, and Omar Kamal — sets strategic direction. Day-to-day portfolio management and advisory mandates are executed by teams operating from Dubai, with investment infrastructure supported by the parent, Gonet & Cie.
Is ONE swiss private wealth a single family office or a private bank?
It is structured as a regulated wealth and asset management firm, not a single family office. Wholly owned by Gonet & Cie SA — a Geneva private bank founded in 1845 — it operates under its own Category 4 DFSA license inside the DIFC. The vehicle serves external professional clients and does not manage the capital of a single family.
How is ONE swiss private wealth related to Gonet & Cie?
ONE swiss private wealth is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gonet & Cie SA. The parent provides Swiss booking, custody, and balance-sheet infrastructure, while ONE swiss private wealth handles client coverage, portfolio management, and advisory services from its DIFC headquarters. The Swiss offices in Geneva, Lugano, and Zurich remain under the Gonet & Cie umbrella, not OSPW directly.
What type of clients does ONE swiss private wealth serve?
The firm serves Professional Clients exclusively, per its DFSA regulatory permissions. Its stated target segments are high-net-worth individuals, families, family offices, and institutional clients. Retail investors are explicitly excluded from the firm’s service offering in line with DIFC conduct-of-business rules.
Where does the underlying wealth come from for ONE swiss private wealth clients?
The firm does not disclose the specific wealth origins of its client base. Given its Dubai headquarters and Swiss parentage, the client mix likely includes Middle Eastern family wealth, European entrepreneurs, and internationally mobile families. No single source of wealth is attributed to the firm itself.
What regulation applies to ONE swiss private wealth's Dubai operations?
The Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) regulates ONE swiss private wealth as a Category 4 firm under DIFC law. The firm also adheres to DIFC Data Protection Law No. 5 of 2020 and maintains a Data Protection Officer. Swiss banking-secrecy norms influence the group's overall privacy posture, but the DIFC entity operates under common-law frameworks.
Does ONE swiss private wealth disclose its assets under management?
No. The firm has not published an AUM figure publicly. Its parent Gonet & Cie also operates as a private partnership that does not routinely disclose consolidated client assets. Without a disclosed number, any figure would be an estimate and is not provided here.
