“During the first half of the year we have seen our assets grow at a very satisfactory rate, thanks in particular to net inflows of funds and good performance. Our strategy of active management and strong conviction, which we have followed for many years, is bearing fruit. Our ESG investment solutions have also been a key driver of growth. The principles of responsibility and sustainability are at the heart of the Mirabaud Group’s DNA. Fiscal 2021 is also an important year for the Group, which is beginning to make significant investments in the digital infrastructure of our private bank. These investments will be made over several years and will enable us to continue to serve all our clients with the best possible tools,” commented Senior Managing Partner Yves Mirabaud.
