Julius Baer International Strengthens Markets Advisory Team with Pictet Hire

Julius Baer International, a prominent UK-based wealth manager within the Julius Baer Group, has appointed Stefano Lupi to the newly established role of Head of Cross Assets Markets UK. Lupi's appointment aims to enhance the firm's offerings for ultra-high-net-worth advisory clients.

In his new role, Lupi will collaborate closely with the markets team in Zurich to develop and expand Julius Baer International's markets offering. This expanded offering will encompass derivatives, securities, foreign exchange, and structured products.

Lupi joins Julius Baer International from Pictet's London office, where he held the position of Global Market Trading Lead. With a wealth of experience, Lupi served as a Senior Managing Director at Pictet, stationed in Singapore, since 2011.

I am thrilled to join Julius Baer International in this new role as the company continues to sharpen the personalised offering available to its clients.

I look forward to exploring the full potential for markets advisory products in the UK and helping to further tailor our services to the needs of our clients.
