Despite the Corona crisis, the bank has seen strong growth in customers. Dr. Francesco Mandalà as Head of Portfolio Management and Daniel Bisang as Head of Investment Advisory have joined the team. The bank has doubled its number of employees in the past 12 months and is now probably Switzerland's fastest growing bank. 

"Taking care of corporate as well as private clients, seamlessly from one team, is no doubt a customer need", says CEO Michael Baer.  January and February 2021 were the best months so far for the Merchant Bank, which received its banking license in December 2018.  

The bank has seen a surge in growth since mid-2020. The bank started with a team of 12 people in December 2018 and soon will be the proud employer of 30 employees.

Dr. Francesco Mandalà (in the picture left) will head the portfolio management at MBaer. Before joining MBaer Francesco was portfoliomanager and fund analyst at Julius Baer. Previously Francesco worked at the European Central Bank in Frankfurt, before becoming a risk manager for UBS. He brings an enormous expertise to our bank.

Daniel Bisang (in the picture right), the new Head of Investment Advisory, joins MBaer from Bank Vontobel, where, for the past 10 years, he was equity sales trader for institutional clients as Executive Director.  He is a great new addition to the team as he is a specialist advisor with a broad knowledge of investment products.

 "We are not only a sought-after partner for our clients, but also an attractive employer for talented individuals in the financial industry.  We are always happy to welcome colleagues who want to join a highly motivated team," says Mike Baer.  The next months will be equally exciting, allowing the Merchant Bank to grow even more.
