Lombard Odier

What Lombard Odier does

Lombard Odier is a privately-held Swiss private bank and asset manager founded in 1796 in Geneva, operating as a partnership with no external shareholders. The group manages CHF 349 billion in client assets across wealth management, private banking, and asset management, serving high-net-worth individuals, ultra-high-net-worth families, institutional investors, entrepreneurs, and external asset managers across more than 25 offices in Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, the Americas, the Caribbean, and Africa. Headcount totals approximately 2,500-3,000 group-wide, with 2,000+ based at the 1Roof headquarters in Geneva, around 300 in Luxembourg, and 400+ asset management professionals distributed across Europe, Asia, and North America.

The core product ecosystem is anchored by a proprietary technology stack: the G2 banking platform (transitioning to its next-generation GX platform) provides portfolio management, trading, and CRM capabilities for internal teams, external asset managers, and institutional clients; MyLO is the client-facing digital banking portal; and LO Smart consolidates digital and non-financial assets for holistic portfolio monitoring. On the investment side, the PrivilEdge multi-manager fund platform hosts 30+ funds with CHF 9.4 billion in AUM across equity, fixed income, multi-asset, alternatives, and convertible bond strategies, complemented by the proprietary LO Funds family. Bloomberg's risk infrastructure (AIM, PORT Enterprise, MARS) is deployed group-wide, and Microsoft Copilot is in use to enhance advisor productivity. Service offerings include discretionary and advisory portfolio management, private assets, wealth planning, lombard lending, and philanthropy advisory via Fondation Philanthropia.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring AUM-based management and advisory fees on private banking mandates, fund management and performance fees on the PrivilEdge and LO Funds platforms, technology licensing of G2/GX to external parties, interest income from lombard loans, and professional services fees from philanthropy and wealth structuring advisory. Distribution is relationship-led via dedicated private bankers in 16+ offices, supplemented by direct institutional mandates and third-party fund distribution; technology licensing to external asset managers represents an additional B2B channel.
