Unwavering stability
There’s stability, and then there’s Pictet stability which is ingrained in our DNA due to several reasons:
- Independence: we are a fully independent, privately-owned company. We are not beholden to quarterly timetables or competing external interests.
- Longevity: Pictet has been serving our clients since 1805.
- Continuity: in our 200+ years we have had 45 Partners, each averaging 20+ years in that role.
This allows us to focus, without compromise, on the long-term interests of our clients and collaborators, as well as to take a decisive approach throughout the market cycles and evolve with the world around us.
There's stability, and then there's Pictet stability.

Unparalleled commitment
At heart we are an independent-thinking, local firm that also happens to be global.We are committed partners. Of course, we use all our resources to deliver the best possible service and outcomes for our clients. We focus on managing their investments, not gathering assets. Our partnership mentality means our definition of commitment extends to:
The places we do business
- We immerse ourselves within markets as locals, not outsiders.
- Our presence in Canada goes back to the 1970s. When we decide to integrate a market, we are guided by a long-term vision to build a solid and lasting foundation.
We embody stability. We trailblaze. We commit. And we look forward to getting to know you better.
Our people
- We empower not just our investment teams but all our employees, including our critical client-facing people in Canada and beyond.
- This leads to an employee turnover rate of 6.7%* which is in the lower range in the financial industry.
