Rahn+Bodmer Co. owes it special status to the strategic and operational collaboration of the Bank’s four partners. As traditional private bankers in the original sense of the term, they are fully responsible for the liabilities of Rahn+Bodmer Co. with their own private assets. A conscientious approach to risks is thus a top priority.

The four partners represent the third, fourth and fifth generations of their families. They are present every day and actively shape the corporate culture. As entrepreneurs, not managers, they have the same interests as clients: stability and security. For the company, which has been family-owned for generations, succession planning is one of the most important strategic tasks. The successful continuation of this tradition requires early planning and is almost a lifetime undertaking. Simon Rahn, son of Christian Rahn, marks the latest step in this generational succession. As the first representative of the fifth generation of his family, he will help shape the future of the bank, being intimately familiar with its history and values. He describes his stance as follows: “For me, being a partner means taking responsibility – for ensuring that Rahn+Bodmer Co. remains reliable, independent and approachable for its clients.”
