VP Bank Group – Tradition and Modernity<br />
Brief history<br />
Headquartered in Vaduz, VP Bank was founded in 1956 and ranks among the three<br />
largest banks in the Principality of Liechtenstein. Today, it is present in Vaduz, Zurich,<br />
Luxembourg, Tortola in the British Virgin Islands, Singapore, Munich, Hong Kong<br />
and Moscow, sites that have been carefully chosen to enable VP Bank Group’s<br />
strengths and synergies to flourish. At the end of 2009, this banking enterprise<br />
administered client assets totaling CHF 41.8 billion, and its bearer shares are listed<br />
on SIX Swiss Exchange in Zurich.<br />
Corporate philosophy<br />
VP Bank Group’s core shareholders – the Liechtenstein-based charitable foundation<br />
Stiftung Fürstlicher Kommerzienrat Guido Feger, which bears the name of VP Bank’s<br />
founder, as well as U.M.M. Hilti-Stiftung – vouch for stability, independence and a<br />
view to the long-term. For Guido Feger, a successful entrepreneur and one of<br />
Liechtenstein’s most highly regarded fiduciaries, performance and trust represented<br />
the key pillars of his business philosophy. To this very day, that commitment remains<br />
the banking group’s paramount premise. And as recent events have clearly<br />
demonstrated, size alone is not a guarantee for security. Rather, security hinges on<br />
the sense of responsibility a bank has vis-à-vis its clients. The strategy and tradition of<br />
conducting no investment banking activities and pursuing a highly conservative<br />
lending policy have more than proven their worth for VP Bank, especially in light of<br />
recent events in the financial markets.<br />

VP Bank’s aspiration is to remain a trustworthy, reliable and strong partner. Awaiting<br />
the clients of tomorrow is a calculable financial institution with highly educated,<br />
consistent advisors and stable conditions. VP Bank Group offers its clients precisely<br />
that mix – and thus the security they rightfully expect.<br />
