History

Centuries-Long Experience, Adapted to our Times

Quilvest (Switzerland) Ltd. was founded in 1932 by Otto Federico Peter Bemberg. His initial goal was to manage the wealth of the extended Bemberg family, who initially made their fortune from a beverage company they started in 1888.

Since its beginnings in Zurich, Quilvest has become a family wealth management provider on an international scale. While the firm still manages the Bemberg family estate, Quilvest (Switzerland) Ltd. has extended its services providing wealth planning, trust management and sophisticated investment solutions to a select number of qualified families, individual entrepreneurs and selected private institutions.
