Rothschild expands UHNW team

Beat Näf, a former family office head, joined Rothschild, as the wealth management group continues its focus on growing its ultra-high net worth team.

Until 2010, Näf was chief executive of Müller-Möhl Group, a Zurich-based single family office founded in 2000 to manage the investment portfolio of the Müller-Möhl family, who made its fortune in the banking sector.

Näf was also previously a partner at Swiss Capital Group in Zurich and held positions at management consulting firms European Partner Group and McKinsey & Company.

At Rothschild, Näf is the latest in a number of new hires at the private bank. Riccardo Petrachi also joined the company in March as head of the UHNW team, which serves clients with assets worth more than CHF25 million (€20.6 million).

Christophe Rouvinez has replaced Beat Näf as Müller-Möhl Group’s chief executive. He has over 10 years of experience in the finance sector, having previously worked for Credit Suisse and Capital Dynamics. 

“Rothschild has considerable demand for specialised services for ultra high net-worth individuals and family offices,” a spokeswoman for the company told CampdenFO.
