Benjamin Widmer is looking forward to his new role at Colin&Cie: "After an enriching time with North American clients, I wanted to focus more on the Swiss market and the Zurich/Schaffhausen area again as a wealth advisor. Colin&Cie is one of the leading independent asset managers in this region. In discussions with the people in charge, I was particularly impressed by the family environment, the innovative advisory approach and the company's ambitious growth targets.  At Colin&Cie, I can take on direct client responsibility and to develop personally and professionally in close dialogue with experienced wealth management specialists."

Walter Arnold, Managing Partner at Colin&Cie in Zurich, is also looking forward to the future collaboration: "Benjamin is young, committed, excellently trained and already has valuable professional experience. He will actively support the generational change and ensure continuity and quality of support in the future."
