What Notz Stucki does

Notz Stucki, now operating under the brand NS Partners, is an independent, privately held Swiss asset management and wealth management group founded in 1964 and headquartered in Geneva. The firm manages CHF 14 billion in assets under management (AUM) across seven offices in Geneva, Zurich, Luxembourg, Bermuda, London, Madrid, and Milan, employing approximately 120 skilled staff. It is regulated by FINMA in Switzerland and CSSF in Luxembourg, and operates through wholly owned subsidiaries in Luxembourg, Bermuda, and the United Kingdom (NS Partners Europe SA, NS Management Ltd., and NS Asset Management UK Ltd).

The group's platform is organized around three core service lines: Wealth Management, Asset Management, and Management Company services. Wealth Management delivers personalized portfolio management, investment advisory, and financial planning to high-net-worth individuals and families, including family offices. Asset Management targets professional investors and institutions through long-only mandates (led by Head of Long Only Investments Pierre Mouton) and alternative strategies (led by Head of Investment Solutions & Institutional Clients Cédric Dingens, CAIA), including hedge fund selection and fund-of-hedge-funds vehicles managed by Head of Wealth Management Sébastien Poiret. Management Company services provide fund design, structuring, and administration support for third-party fund vehicles, particularly in Luxembourg. Underlying technology and IP are not publicly disclosed; the firm indicates an internal quantitative risk management framework and a 'Front to Back digitalization strategy' overseen by COO Christophe Verbaere, but no proprietary platforms, APIs, or products are named.

The business model is relationship-based, recurring-fee asset and wealth management plus managed services for fund administration. Revenue streams are subscription/recurring in nature (Wealth Management, Asset Management) and managed-services based (Management Company). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated individually, consistent with bespoke HNW and institutional mandates. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales delivered through dedicated relationship managers and a dedicated Investment Solutions & Institutional Clients department, supported by thought-leadership content (insights publications, webinars, industry events). Customers are segmented into HNW individuals/families (primary), institutional clients including pension funds, insurance, endowments, and foundations (primary), and family offices (secondary). The group is led by CEO Frédéric de Poix (appointed December 2025), with an Executive Committee that also includes CFO Antonio Mira and COO Christophe Verbaere.
