Banque Marcuard, founded in 1746, was one of Switzerland’s first banks. Through the next two hundred years, it became one of the most important private finance houses in Europe. While placing loans for France, Spain and other European powers, Marcuard also played an important role in the capital accumulation needed for Switzerland’s industrialization until the end of an era with the First World War. Following its sale to Credit Suisse in 1919, it lost its independence. In the early 1990’s, new Marcuard Family Offices entities have been created, in particular by Hans-Joerg Rudloff, former Chairman of Credit Suisse First Boston and Barclays Capital. In 2016, Philippe Rudloff founded Atlantis Marcuard in Geneva.
