FF Marcuard SA

FF Marcuard SA was founded in 2010 by Fiorello Fiore, a Swiss banker with many years of experience in management, financial advising and building client relationships that span generations. Believing there was a better way to serve clients, the entrepreneur started a visionary wealth management company in partnership with Marcuard Heritage, since both reflect the same convictions.

Meanwhile, being a Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) regulated company, FF Marcuard SA still follows its original principles. The company aims to be the ideal partner for wealthy individuals and families, leveraging many years of knowledge and expertise in investment management and providing independent advice and stability.
