For Limmat Wealth's clients, the merger with FERI will open up a broad range of investment management and family office solutions.

Dr. Maurizio Genoni, founding partner and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Limmat Wealth AG, adds: "The merger with FERI allows us to be optimally positioned for the future. Our clients will gain access to exclusive investment concepts and additional asset classes."
