We offer you the opportunity to open a corporate account in Monaco with one of the most respectable banks in the jurisdiction.
Opening of an account is our made-to-order service, but the current strict compliance requirements prescribe that every customer of the Bank should meet with their banker in person within one month after opening the account. The meeting can take place either in or outside of Monaco. If you decide to deposit over €5 million, the banker will visit you in person.
To open a corporate account in Monaco, you need to guarantee a minimum account balance of EUR 500,000. At the same time, the Bank does not consider financial operations with the account as its main area of activity, but rather as a consulting service of financial asset management.
The Bank recommended by us for opening your corporate account is a reliable credit and financial institution with more than 85-year experience in Private Banking. In 2001, after many years since its foundation, the Bank was incorporated anew through the merger of two family banks. Over time, this allowed the Bank to become one of the largest and most sustainable European banks. Its solid growth has been particularly impressive since the internationalization initiative undertaken in 2008 that now allows the Bank to operate on two continents in 12 countries, including Monaco (since 2011). This international scope is its main key to success. As of July 2020, its total net assets were nearly €26.53 billion, up almost 10% on the previous year.
Unlike many Banks that suffered a serious blow from the financial crisis of 2008, the Bank developed rapidly and confidently even in post-crisis times.
In 2020, Banks across the world have faced negative rating momentum as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, oil shock, and market volatility. However, as of April 2020, Fitch confirms the Bank’s BBB rating. The current high level of capitalization and liquidity is a guarantee that the Bank’s clients can feel relaxed and the Bank can work steadily in many of its branches.
Investment with the Bank
The success of tailored investment strategies offered and developed by the Bank individually for each client has earned respect and trust.
The Bank adheres to the classical principles in wealth management and investment. This approach protects against many risks and problems. However, it is not too conservative when it comes to the application of innovative tools.
The process of strategic investments involves five steps:
- analysis of the customer profile and needs
- focus on the management objectives
- development of the investment strategy
- execution of the investment
- monitoring of the progress and control of the results.
The Bank works in close cooperation with its customers, and only on an individual basis. This enables it to focus on the three main principles of successful capital growth in the future:
- trust (discretionary management)
- knowledge and advice (consulting)
- custody (protections of the client’s wealth).
Discretionary Management
A dedicated team of financial market professionals manages the clients’ portfolios. This team involves international experts who manage the clients’ assets according to the chosen strategies, continuously adjusting and monitoring risk levels and projected returns.
Absolute return fund management
Absolute return fund management is aimed at the protection of the clients’ capital under the harshest conditions of the market volatility. This strategy also implies more flexible solutions when the Bank’s analysts find it absolutely necessary to adapt the investments according to the market situation in order to obtain the best returns.
Directional or traditional management
As part of the directional management approach, clients’ portfolios are managed according to dynamic allocation, using all asset classes, across every geographic zone and sector. One or more market indicators are taken for the main reference points. The assets thus invested in the portfolios are highly sensitive to financial and market fluctuations. So, here too, it is important to be guided by a sensible approach and understanding of the market. And this is exactly what the Bank’s experts offer.
In this strategy, it is vital to maintain the best possible balance in the investment choices, according to the investor’s risk profile, in order to maximize the risk/return ratio over the long term. This is the only way to growing future profit.
Personalized management
This method of investment management is intended for major investors who need constant assistance and professional advice. Maximum return on investment is achieved through close cooperation with the client and understanding of their goals and needs. Portfolio allocations are adapted and adjusted on a continuous basis, based on market conditions.
Inheritance planning
Solid capital and assets require timely inheritance planning. This takes much more than just a will writing. The strategic design of future capital management takes time and is absolutely essential.
The Bank focuses on in-depth study and analysis of the family strategy, while attracting not only the Bank’s consultants but also the corporate professionals to designing the adequate protection and stable growth approaches for the future capital growth – after the next generations inherit it.
Family offices
Besides the asset management and inheritance planning tasks, the Bank focuses on the family business development, which often is the foundation for building the capital to be managed.
Financial strategies designed for families allow for the smooth preservation and growth of capital in the long term. All solutions are under the careful monitoring and control by the best experts, professionals, and analysts of the Bank.
The Bank helps family offices invest not only in classic investment products, but also in the most diverse sectors of the economy, charity and arts.
Charity with the Bank
In addition to investment services, the Bank offers its assistance in charity activities. This service is meant for certain categories of clients who wish to diversify their investments and invest in socially meaningful projects or activities.
The main charity services involve the following activities:
- creation and strategic planning of funds
- donation planning
- fostering of the philanthropic traditions among members of the same family
- income investments in support of a good cause
- optimization of tax payments.
