Zurich, 29 June 2022 – Julius Baer today announced that effective 1 July 2022, its Markets unit will become a separate division under the continued leadership of the current Head Markets Luigi Vignola. As a result, Luigi Vignola will join the Executive Boards of Julius Baer Group Ltd. and Bank Julius Baer & Co. Ltd. as an additional member. This organisational restructuring and appointment reflect the importance of the Markets division for Julius Baer in providing a leading wealth management offering to its clients.
