truly bespoke services

Our expertise goes far beyond pure financial management of your wealth; we aspire to support you and your family over the long term. We offer a bespoke service, delivered by a senior private banker. He or she works with a dedicated team of local portfolio managers and wealth planners in London, Geneva and Zurich, with long experience serving global UK clients.

The service I receive from Lombard Odier is excellent. For me, the key differentiator is not so much the level of contact, but the proactive nature of it, and the relevancy of it, in terms of both content and timing2

your dedicated private banker

Our bankers are seasoned professionals who advise only a limited number of clients. They invest the time to understand your personal situation, in order to offer appropriate solutions. Your banker will accompany you throughout your life, regardless of where in the world you or your wealth move, acting as a single point of entry for all our services. He or she coordinates the expertise needed to manage your wealth, working with your external advisers and networks of experts within our bank.

We are true investment specialists, with a sole focus on wealth and asset management services, and one of the largest investment intelligence teams of any private bank.  Our portfolio managers in Geneva, London and Zurich specialise in building portfolios for Global UK clients, maximising on local investment opportunities, asset structures and tax-efficient vehicles.

We offer flexible discretionary and advisory investment management, supported by industry-leading wealth technology. Our platform automatically codes in clients’ UK tax status and individual investment preferences into our portfolio management, and performs sophisticated pre and post-trade controls.

I am really impressed by the investment expertise and sustainability. Specialist speakers and investment meetings keep a feeling of personal involvement and understanding all variations of financial market trends

comprehensive portfolio monitoring and analysis

Over the last 25 years, we have built an award-winning, single global technology platform that we use for portfolio management across our bank. Its quality and reliability attracted interest externally, and we now market it to other private banks and family offices. Our client interface is called My LO.


individual wealth planning and structuring

Your local wealth planner can provide expert support with cross-border issues, UK pre-immigration planning, resident non-domiciled asset structuring, account segregation and pre-deemed domiciled planning. We take a joined-up approach to onshore and offshore wealth management, offering asset booking in up to 10 centres worldwide, and the potential to use your portfolio as security for a Lombard Loan3.

I would describe the bank’s service as highly client-oriented, with personal dedication from each bank employee

Our philanthropy team can help you turn aspirations into action, achieve new goals and lasting legacies.

Our core conviction in sustainability shapes everything we do. Our portfolio management now integrates analysis that aims to identify companies with sustainable financial and business models and business activities.

We can also offer portfolios where sustainability is the primary driver of security selection, personalised sustainable portfolios based on individual client specifications, or pure impact strategies.

In 2019, we became the first global wealth and asset manager to gain B Corp certification, one of the world’s leading sustainability ratings.
