Pictet Asset Management is part of the Pictet Group which was founded in Geneva in 1805. The Pictet Group is owned and managed by seven managing partners who are responsible for the entire business of the Group. The principles of succession and transmission of ownership have remained unchanged since 1805. Over the past 215 years there have been only 43 partners, each with an average tenure of over 20 years.
