<strong>PKB</strong>‘s Culture & Commitment<br />
The culture of Swiss Private<br />
Banking<br />
Swiss banking secrecy, as<br />
provided for by the Federal<br />
Banking Law, guarantees to<br />
clients the protection of their<br />
private sphere and obligates the<br />
bank and its employees to the<br />
utmost confidentiality<br />
At <strong>PKB</strong>, discretion,<br />
confidentiality and the respect<br />
of the private sphere are more<br />
than a legal requirement: they<br />
are an attitude, a code of<br />
conduct, applied on a daily<br />
basis and governing every<br />
single action. They are the true<br />
culture of the bank<br />
The culture of reliability<br />
The culture of personalized service<br />
�<strong>PKB</strong> offers a range of services comparable to that of large banks, but with a<br />
personalized approach, a boutique private bank. <strong>PKB</strong> is committed to<br />
satisfying all financial requirements of its customers, and in particular<br />
strives to provide advice that is always in keeping with the client’s personal<br />
objectives<br />
�At <strong>PKB</strong>, all clients, regardless of the extent of their assets, have a direct<br />
access to a senior private banker. At <strong>PKB</strong> there are no pre-packaged<br />
products, but only customized solutions born of listening and<br />
understanding each client’s needs<br />
�Moreover, <strong>PKB</strong>’s streamlined organization allows a large degree of<br />
flexibility and responsiveness. The purchase of a new product, information<br />
on financial markets, investment advice, the granting of a credit line or of a<br />
mortgage loan, among others, all these can be delivered rapidly<br />
Satisfying client expectations is central to <strong>PKB</strong>’s attention. When contacting the bank, clients are sure to be able to count on a<br />
rapid and high quality response to all their requirements<br />
Thanks to its team of qualified bankers, supported by a responsive and efficient organization, <strong>PKB</strong> ensures, in every<br />
circumstance, the highest level of service reliability

Quality<br />
Independence<br />

Art Services & Collection<br />
� Works of art have always aroused interest and passion amongst conneisseurs. Over the years, they have<br />
become forms of investment that are increasingly present in both private and institutional estates<br />
� <strong>PKB</strong> is particularly sensitive to the artistic phenomenon in general and is firmly convinced of the validity<br />
of this investment class. The bank has therefore dedicated part of its own resources in acquiring ancient,<br />
modern and contemporary works of art, forming a private collection that is worthy of the attention of<br />
experts<br />
� On one hand, it focused on acquiring paintings of the fifteenth century Lombard school, such as of<br />
Bernardo Zenale, Vincenzo Foppa, Bernardino Luini, Andrea Solario and Giovanni Gerolamo Savoldo. On<br />
the other hand, it has collected and continues to select works of contemporary international artists such<br />
as Anselm Kiefer, Julian Schnabel, Yvan Theimer, William Kentridge, Peter Doig, Laura Owens, Nalini<br />
Malani and the younger artists Vik Muniz, Tom McGrath, Ivan Bazak and Chantal Joffe<br />
� To complete the range of services offered, <strong>PKB</strong> can provide access to clients to its valuable contacts<br />
established in the art world, assisting them in:<br />
• Identifying the most suitable experts for appraisals and valuations of ancient and modern paintings and<br />
sculptures<br />
• Completing purchases or sales in public auctions, guaranteeing absolute confidentiality<br />
• Selecting intermediaries for the purchase or sale of paintings and sculptures on the international market

Characteristics of Private Banking in LatAm<br />
Clients’ needs differ through countries in LatAm<br />
• Brazil, Mexico and Chile have a higher propensity to bank/book onshore<br />
• The rest of LatAm, i.e. Central America, the Pacto Andino and Argentina,<br />
show an accentuated propensity to bank/book abroad<br />
The main reasons for international banking are (not conclusive):<br />
•Security<br />
Often kidnappings, extortions, etc. happen because of information<br />
sourcing from authorities<br />
•Political instability:<br />
Most countries have been ruled by two political fronts over decades.<br />
Whenever, one comes into power the political and juridical systems<br />
change dramatically<br />
•Territorial tax system:<br />
In many countries in LatAm a territorial tax system (or derivates of<br />
it) are into force. Assets within the national territory need to be<br />
declared and are taxed. Assets abroad nor need to be declared nor<br />
are taxed
