Pictet’s rich heritage and unwavering resilience

Rooted in Geneva since 1805, Pictet embodies financial prowess, spanning two centuries of excellence. Originating from the visionary Pictet family, the institution upholds an enduring dedication to exceptional financial services. Through economic tides and financial landscapes, Pictet has showcased remarkable adaptability, consistently innovating to meet evolving client needs. A symbol of strength, courage, and defiance, Pictet Group’s ‘lion issant’ emblem, fondly known as Leo, has embodied resilience since the 17th century. Its adoption as the symbol in 1955 underscores Pictet’s unwavering commitment to enduring values.

A global force of stability and influence

With assets under management totaling around USD 650 billion and a global workforce of over 5,300 employees across 30 key financial centers (as of the end of 2022), Pictet’s presence resounds globally. Its steadfast focus on private banking, refraining from investment banking or commercial lending activities, further distinguishes Pictet.
