Our History

The roots of Belvoir Capital AG go back to 1996. In its current form, it was created in 2014 through the merger of the two companies BSZ AG Vermögensverwaltung and IFP Independent Financial Partners AG.

1996-06-01
Founded in 1996

IFP Independent Financial Partners AG (IFP)

IFP was originally founded as Onyx Asset Management AG by Alexandre Weintraub. In the summer of 2000, Mauro Tempini joined with another partner and the company was renamed IFP Independent Financial Partners AG. More...

    Until 2014, the company served private clients in Europe and Latin America with a focus on a multi-strategy approach. Due to stricter regulations, growing compliance requirements and a difficult market environment, the partners decided in 2012 that a merger with another company would make sense to secure the company’s future and master the challenges ahead. In 2012, the company moved to BSZ premises and in 2014, the merger followed as a natural consequence.

2004-06-20
Founded in 2004

BSZ AG Wealth Management

BSZ was founded in 2004 by Steffen Bauke, René Stoll and Markus Zuhorn, all Senior Client Advisors at UBS. BSZ concentrated at that time also on the support of HNWI with headquarters in Germany and Switzerland.

2008-11-01
November 2008

Two strategy funds

Due to the changing tax environment in Germany, BSZ launched two strategy funds in 2008 (Belvoir Global Allocation Fund and Belvoir Global Allocation II Universal).

2012-03-01
March 2012

Founding the BSZ office community – IFP

In 2012, the founders of the BSZ and the IFP came to the conclusion that, in view of higher regulatory and compliance requirements, it would make sense to initially bundle forces in an office community at Seestrasse 131.

2013-09-01
September 2013

First acquisition

BSZ takes over 15 client relationships of an asset manager with an AuM volume of CHF 60 million.

2014-07-01
July 2014

Merger of IFP and BSZ to form Belvoir Capital AG (second acquisition)

As a logical consequence, BSZ legally took over IFP on July 1, 2014 and merged the asset management business. In the course of this merger, the company was renamed Belvoir Capital AG. The founding partners, who form the Executive Committee, have since built up a professional corporate organisation and implemented a family corporate culture. At the end of 2014, Belvoir had seven employees and AuM of approximately CHF 250 million.

2015-01-01
January 2015

Third acquisition

At the beginning of 2015, the company supported the succession of another asset manager and more than doubled its AuM to approximately CHF 600 million by taking over around 30 mandates.

2016-01-01
January 2016

Fourth acquisition

Belvoir Capital takes over about 20 clients from Yves Lombard Asset Management in a succession plan.

2016-04-01
April 2016

FINMA licence

Belvoir Capital is granted Finma approval as an asset manager of collective investment schemes pursuant to Art. 18 CISA following an approval procedure of almost one year.

2016-09-01
September 2016

Relocation to new offices

After 12 years at Villa Mignon on Seestrasse in Zurich, the company moves to new premises at Beethovenstrasse 9.

2016-12-30
December 2016

Fifth acquisition

In the course of a restructuring and sale of an asset manager, 20 customer relationships were taken over from this asset manager.

2017-04-01
April 2017

Sixth acquisition

Belvoir Wealth Management AG is taken over by Belvoir Capital AG. Belvoir Wealth Management AG is an asset manager regulated by the SEC.

2020-11-01
November 2020

Launch of Belvoir Direct

Belvoir Capital AG extends its portfolio with a new service – the online wealth management platform “Belvoir Direct”.
