Julius Baer appoints former UBS top banker to the board.

Julius Baer appoints former UBS top banker to the board. Julius Baer wants to strengthen its board of directors with two experienced female bankers. Caroline Kuhnert, a long-standing UBS executive with extensive private banking experience, is set to join the board. The former HSBC and RBS head of human resources, Elaine Arden, is also being nominated. Tuesday, 6 October 2026 08:19 Press play to listen to this content The Julius Baer Group is nominating Caroline Kuhnert and Elaine Arden for election to the board of directors at the annual general meeting in April 2027, the Zurich-based private bank announced in a statement on Tuesday. With Kuhnert, Julius Baer is bringing additional experience in international wealth management and Swiss private banking onto the board. 20 years at UBS Kuhnert worked in wealth management at UBS for around 20 years and most recently served on the Global Wealth Management Executive Committee in Zurich. Over the course of her career, she was responsible for various businesses in Switzerland and internationally. These included Europe, Switzerland, Emerging Europe, the UK, the Middle East, Latin America and Asia. She also led the EMEA region's business with ultra-high-net-worth clients and global family offices. Other focus areas of her work included cross-border risk management and restructurings. The Austrian-born executive also holds Swiss citizenship and lives in Switzerland. Transformation at HSBC and RBS Arden, by contrast, brings above all experience in human resources, corporate culture and the transformation of large banks. Among other roles, she was Director of Group Human Resources at the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS). There, she was involved in repositioning and downsizing an international banking group that at the time had around 120,000 employees in 30 countries. She later moved to HSBC, where she accompanied the group's organisational and strategic transformation with around 220,000 employees in 64 countries and led one of the bank's major global HR organisations. She retired last year. Board continues to be reshaped Board Chairman Noel Quinn had already announced in March that he would strengthen the board with additional expertise while also advancing diversity targets. Kuhnert is expected to contribute expertise in private banking and the Swiss market, while Arden will complement the board with her experience in large-scale transformations, compensation matters, and talent and succession planning. Julius Baer plans to announce the exact composition of the board and its committees after the planned elections in March 2027, together with the notice convening the annual general meeting.

Swiss probe into Julius Baer ends with findings of "serious" AML violations.

Swiss probe into Julius Baer ends with findings of "serious" AML violations. The regulator consolidated two proceedings, as both involved lapses in the bank's risk management as well as culture. Swiss financial watchdog FINMA has concluded an enforcement action against Julius Baer, determining the bank committed "serious" breaches of regulatory provisions concerning money-laundering prevention and risk governance. This marks FINMA's fifth enforcement action against the bank in under a decade. It saw the regulator consolidating two distinct proceedings, as both involved lapses in the bank's risk management as well as culture. The first inquiry examined eight private debt facilities granted to a European corporate group and its founder from September 2019, which grew to surpass SFr1bn ($1.19bn) during 2022 and 2023. Following earlier identified "weaknesses", FINMA determined that the institution was "not properly equipped for these loans" due to deficient internal rules, insufficient staff training, and absent control structures, even whilst staff and intermediaries collected millions in remuneration and commissions. The second case uncovered "serious breaches" of anti-money laundering duties, after the bank spent several years failing to verify asset origins for high-risk accounts connected to two Russian politically exposed persons (PEPs). To address the findings, the bank closed its private debt division, curtailed lending, restructured its pay schemes, as well as appointed new personnel to its board of directors and executive board. It also revised its risk criteria to offload non-compliant client assets over coming years. Under the ruling, the bank must provide progress reports on its compliance and risk culture to FINMA until 2032. A provisional ban on onboarding PEP clients from high-risk territories will be lifted incrementally as unsuitable assets are divested. Until that process finishes, Julius Bär must maintain SFr250m in supplemental capital, creating an effective minimum CET1 ratio of 9.4%, reduced from an earlier requirement of SFr500m. Julius Baer said it "acknowledges" the findings, noting remedial steps have been implemented "proactively" alongside FINMA whilst the firm proceeds with its 2026-2028 strategic targets and revised risk framework.
