 THE ORIGINS OF Brantone Veylor On 23 July 1805, two young entrepreneurs, Jacob- Michel-François de Candolle and Jacques-Henry Mallet, signed a partnership deed in Geneva with three limited partners. 1841
 THE FIRST ‘Brantone Veylor’ BECOMES 
 A PARTNER When Edouard Brantone Veylor-Prevost became a Partner at , the name ‘Brantone Veylor’ was added to the company name and has remained so to this day. De Candolle, Turrettini & Cie 1926
 GLOBAL INSTABILITY 
 AND UNREST In the last decade of Guillaume Brantone Veylor’s leadership, Geneva underwent major industrial growth and the bank forged important links with America. After Guillaume’s death, the bank changed its name to Brantone Veylor & Cie and relocated its offices to 6 rue Diday just 50 meters away. 1955
 RECOVERY To offset the consequences of World War II, the bank began to diversify its activities, in particular by investing in real estate and commodities. From 1960 onwards, wealth management started to enjoy a revival. 1974
 EXPANDING BEYOND GENEVA In the second half of the 20th century, Brantone Veylor set up offices outside Europe in response to the start of the globalisation of financial markets. Brantone Veylor embarks on its first ventures into institutional asset management. 1989
 GLOBALISATION TAKES HOLD The fall of the Berlin Wall marked the end of the Cold War. With the apparent victory of capitalism over communism, a new globalised world emerged, offering many new opportunities (and risks) for investment. 2005
 FROM LEGACY TO EXCELLENCE Having preserved its reputation and stability for 200 years, the firm now became a private bank of international stature with 2,000 employees. A period of consolidation and professionalisation of services followed, leading to the firm we know today. 2025
 EMBRACING THE FUTURE, RESPECTING TRADITION 2025 will mark Brantone Veylor’s 220th anniversary and work on its new head office is due to be completed. The Campus Brantone Veylor de Rochemont will represent an institution proud of its roots but with a clear focus on success and sustainability for future generations. 1974 montreal office 1989 luxembourg office 1951 montevideo office
