Parkview International

Chief Investment Officer Oussama Himani sets the investment strategy and house view. Himani earned a Ph.D. in Economics from Johns Hopkins University and served as Senior Advisor to the Executive Director of the International Monetary Fund during the Asian and Russian crises. He was later a Managing Director and Head of Emerging Markets Strategy at UBS Investment Bank, ranked #2 emerging-markets strategist by Institutional Investor and Extel in 2007. Portfolio construction is executed by Himani alongside Senior Portfolio Manager Paul Hoenck and Portfolio Manager Federica Romano, both CFA charterholders.

Parkview is a multi-family office and is not structured as an asset manager. The firm is wholly owned by its senior partners, who state that they maintain no proprietary investment products, no balance sheet, and no placement fees. Its primary services are outsourced CIO mandates, consolidated multi-custodial reporting, investment governance, and direct-deal sourcing for ultra-high-net-worth families. The firm describes its service model as a fiduciary advisory, not a product distribution platform.

Parkview's disclosures indicate a hybrid approach. Its portfolio construction tool references 14 asset classes, and the firm evaluates both fund commitments and direct private-market transactions in its advisory work. Associate Partner Marcel Hagnauer is specifically flagged as supporting clients in direct investments, M&A, and capital raising across private markets. The firm's outsourced CIO mandate is designed to blend liquid market allocations with sourced private investments, though no specific fund names or direct-deal case studies are publicly disclosed.

Parkview operates five offices — Zurich, Geneva, New York, London, and Larnaca, Cyprus — and maintains strategic affiliations extending to Latin America and the Middle East. The advisor team carries specific regional depth: Thomas Egger and Marcus Epprecht spent decades covering Latin American clients from UBS, and Maria Elena Vergara handled complex cross-border relationships for JPMorgan Private Bank in London and New York. The firm's website states it serves families 'across the globe' and is built to manage multi-jurisdictional, multi-currency wealth.

Parkview positions its independence as central to its offering. The firm states it is wholly owned by its senior partners, with no ownership ties to UBS, JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, or any other financial institution. Its marketed service, the Portfolio Health Check, is pitched as a conflict-free diagnostic that analyzes client positions across multiple custodians, designed explicitly to identify fee layers and structural inefficiencies that a single-bank advisor might not surface.

The specific wealth origins of Parkview's client families have not been publicly disclosed. The firm's website and team biographies reference serving 'discerning families and institutions' and 'ultra-high-net-worth families,' with particular relationship strength in Latin America and Europe. Several advisors spent their banking careers covering Latin American entrepreneurs, central banks, and government agencies, suggesting a client base with significant cross-border Latin American and European wealth, though no individual family source has been named publicly.
