Tiedemann Constantia is opening a third office in Switzerland. The wealth manager is also approved to woo American clientele, thanks to a new U.S. entity.

The Zurich-based boutique is poaching two bankers to open an office in Geneva, it said in an emailed statement on Thursday. The office will be led byCharles d'Oncieu (pictured below), the founder and CEO of four-year-old hedge fund Cove Capital. He will oversee business development, especially in French-speaking regions.

Before launching Cove, d'Oncieu was with Analytical Research where he advised pension funds on their hedge fund investments and worked for Banque Hottinger and Banque Edmond de Rothschild.

It is also hiring Sylvie Golay (pictured below) in Zurich as its chief strategist and deputy investment chief. Most recently at Credit Suisse, Golay will work alongside investment head Pierre Bose and be responsible for Tiedemann Constantia's investment process.

Golay was most recently head of financial markets strategy at Credit Suisse, where she spent nearly 15 years until mid-2019 including in fixed income roles. She is also an adviser to the International Committee of the Red Cross, on innovative finance. 

Tiedemann Constantia said it can now cater to wealthy Americans, both in the U.S. or abroad, after establishing an entity regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Run by ex-Credit Suisse banker Robert Weeber, the boutique oversees or advises on roughly $25 billion in assets, together with U.S. partners Tiedemann Advisors and Tiedemann Trust Company.
