After graduating in business administration from University of Passau, Uwe Herrlinger worked for a few years as a corporate analyst and investment banker in London. He then moved to Banco Bilbao Vizcaya (BBV) to set up the bank’s corporate banking department in Frankfurt and looked after German multinationals. During this time, he wrote his doctoral thesis at the University of Castilla-La Mancha.

In 2001, Uwe Herrlinger moved to Zurich to gain a foothold in asset management and private banking. He started at Bank Vontobel Fund Services, one of the leading asset managers for “value investing”, where he worked closely with the renowned value managers of Vontobel USA, Rajiv Jain and Ed Walczak. Uwe launched the first value conferences in Europe, inviting Bruce Greenwald and Michael van Biema from Columbia Business School (CBS), where he himself studied value investing. Due to his language and technical skills, he subsequently took over Bank Vontobel’s private banking activities in Latin America, focusing on Mexico, Central America, Venezuela and Colombia. In 2005, Uwe Herrlinger was appointed a member of the Executive Board of BBVA (Switzerland). In 2007, he moved to UBS, where he was initially responsible for a team of private bankers. After the subprime mortgage crisis, he moved to the Ultra High Net Worth Individuals (UHNWI) division, where he learned to understand complex client situations and advise UBS’s most important clients on the (re)structuring of their overall wealth. He also assisted families in the successful execution of company sales. In 2013, he became a partner of Swiss Partners Group, one of the largest independent wealth managers in Switzerland before working in wealth management independently since 2017 and joining our team in 2022.
