<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


Principles behind <strong>PKB</strong>’s Open Architecture<br />

By opting for an open architecture, <strong>PKB</strong> intends to offer the most appropriate investment products and services to its<br />

clients, independently from the issuer’s origin or the product’s manager<br />

Quality<br />

Independence<br />

Transparency<br />

Diversification<br />

Specification<br />

Differentiation<br />

for the client in the marketplace<br />

• Research activities as well as wealth management are performed in the best interest of the client and<br />

not with the objective to increase the bank’s income<br />

• The pricing system is unambiguous and transparent; the research process, the fund selection and the<br />

asset management are structured, documented and place at the client’s disposal<br />

• The client advisors and the clients do have a comprehensive selection of different types of funds and<br />

knowledge and can provide state-of-the-art service for the client<br />

for the client needs<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
