Bordier & Cie first bank in Switzerland to join forces with leading private equity fintech Moonfare

Moonfare has a unique access to a large number of top-tier and hard-to-access private equity funds, allowing Bordier to provide its client with a broader choice of private equity investment opportunities while also making it available to smaller clients.

By partnering with Moonfare, the award-winning alternative investment platform, Bordier & Cie reinforces its strategic focus on private equity for private clients. This Partnership benefits private clients and expands their access to top tier private equity funds through an easy-to-use digital experience via the Moonfare platform.

The private equity asset class has seen tremendous growth in recent years and with assets under management of over $4 trillion today is no longer a niche asset class reserved only for institutional investors. With the arrival last year of Christian Skaanild as a Managing Partner, Bordier & Cie has increased its strategic focus on the private equity asset class. Mr Skaanild is an industry expert, having spent over 20 years working in private equity prior to joining Bordier & Cie. The partnership gives Bordier & Cie’s private clients access to Moonfare’s portfolio of top performing funds, widening its existing offering of leading private equity and venture capital funds. The partnership is unique in the Swiss private banking landscape and will also encompass international operations where both companies are present, including the UK, Singapore and France.

“My partners and I share a strong conviction that the private equity asset class has a home in long term investment portfolios of private clients. To expand Bordier & Cie’s unique offering in the asset class is a strategic priority for our bank and we are delighted to sign this partnership with Moonfare”, says Bordier & Cie Managing Partner, Christian Skaanild. “In only a short time, Moonfare has become the leading platform for individual investors in the private equity sector. Bordier & Cie provides its clients with impartial advice in building a diversified private equity portfolio, so that they may enjoy superior risk-adjusted returns from top performing funds.”

Moonfare gives private investors access to top-tier private market funds that were previously only available for institutions. The platform has been enthusiastically adopted by individuals and their advisors looking for extraordinary returns, leading to the company’s exponential growth in the past months. One of the reasons for Moonfare’s success is the broad asset class coverage it offers with careful selection of only the top-performing funds. The company’s highly qualified investment team consisting of industry veterans, conducts an extremely thorough due diligence and selects only a small percentage of funds covered. Investors also value the Moonfare-platform that provides a seamless user-experience and has unique features such as a secondary market allowing investors to sell their stakes, making traditionally illiquid asset classes more liquid.

“We are delighted about this partnership with Bordier & Cie and are looking forward to combining the wealth management expertise of a nearly 200-year old Swiss bank with Moonfare’s technology and unique offering of private investment opportunities” says Moonfare founder and CEO Dr. Steffen Pauls. “This partnership is another milestone for our growth strategy in Switzerland, which is one of Moonfare’s fastest developing markets accounting for over 10% of our global AUM.”
