Geneva-based asset manager Forum Finance Group has strengthened its team with two experienced private bankers.
The two new arrivals, Philippe Senger (pictured above) and Alban Janssens de Bisthoven (pictured below), were poached from local rivals, news portal «Finance Corner» reported.
Senger has been active in the financial industry for more than 35 years, spending the last 10 years at Pictet, where he led a 10-strong team focusing on continental Europe. Prior to that he worked for the Swiss subsidiary of U.S. bank J.P. Morgan.
Janssens de Bisthoven was hired from Julius Baer in Geneva, where he worked for 11 years and was responsible for wealth and tax planning in Europe. He holds a masters degree in law and is a legal specialist in inheritance planning and tax issues.
Forum Finance Group was founded in 1994 in Geneva and employs some 20 staff, who manage assets worth 1.5 billion Swiss francs ($1.51 billion). The Finma-regulated institute also obtained a license from the SEC markets regulator in the U.S.in 2016.
