Bordier acts as that bank, from Switzerland and from Singapore, and the manager keeps the client relationship. * Custody and private banking for the manager's clients, including fiscal matters and corporate actions. * Access to the trading room, the analysts and Bordier's research publications. * Open architecture across equities, fixed income, structured products, funds, private equity and digital assets. * **IAM in touch**, the platform for orders, portfolio analysis, consolidation, client reporting and electronic filing. * Direct connectivity, so positions and transactions arrive in the manager's own system over a secure file transfer rather than a second login. * Access to the group's specialists: consolidation, Family Services, advisory and financial planning.
