Philipp Rickenbacher’s resignation as CEO of private bank Julius Baer took place without any external pressure, according to Chairman of the Board of Directors Romeo Lacher. (archive image)

There was no pressure from individual shareholders either.

According to Lacher, Rickenbacher’s resignation was “a mutual decision of himself and the board.” But Lacher’s resignation was also apparently controversial. “The board has openly discussed the issue and explored all options,” he said.

On Thursday, Julius Baer not only wrote off its entire 606 million-franc loan to Austrian investor René Benko’s Signa Group, but also announced that it was withdrawing from the entire “private debt” business. “Here too, no pressure was applied by Finma,” Lacher emphasized. However, there was an intense exchange of views with the financial market supervisory authority.
