For UBS Luxembourg, the evening of September 26 was very special. We welcomed Luxembourg’s Prime Minister, Xavier Bettel, and Minister of Finance, Yuriko Backes, as well as distinguished guests, clients and friends of our bank at the MUDAM, to celebrate an exceptional milestone: half a century of service in the Grand Duchy.

The evening was enhanced by the presence of Luxembourg’s political and financial leaders, who together with our clients, were inspired by the insights shared from technology and finance experts. The speeches were followed by a concert by the Quartet Salut Salon, and an exceptional dinner. The autumnal evening concluded with an impressive drone show, lighting up Luxembourg’s night sky.

“In Europe, we’re the #1 wealth manager and we have plans to utilize our size, scale and enhanced local presence to deliver even more for our clients,” said Iqbal Khan, President, Global Wealth Management.

Heinrich Baer, Country Head of UBS Luxembourg, added: “From Wealth Management to Asset Management, our business in Luxembourg is growing and flourishing”.

UBS has ambitious plans to accelerate its growth trajectory in Luxembourg in the coming years, including by expanding its leading market position in Wealth and Asset Management.

With now over 50 years of experience in the country – and just under 100 years when combined with Credit Suisse’s presence in the Grand Duchy – UBS Luxembourg is an orchestrator and gate keeper, providing our global clients access to a truly global network of specialists and capabilities. As a key player in the market, UBS has always felt welcome and at home here in Luxembourg. And this is just the beginning of a remarkable, history-making journey.
