Bank Profile
M.M. Warburg Bank (Switzerland) Ltd traces its history to 1880 with the foundation of stock exchange member bank Schoop, Reiff & Co, which soon established itself as a prime name among the financial institutions specializing in securities brokerage. By 1965, the firm has become Bank Gut, Streiff AG, with a focus on asset management services. In 1978, a group of Japanese and Swiss investors acquired the bank and changed its name into Interallianz Bank Zurich AG.
In September 1996, the bank was bought by M.M. Warburg & CO KGaA, renaming it M.M. Warburg Bank (Switzerland) Ltd.
M.M. Warburg Bank (Switzerland) Ltd parent company and sole shareholder, M. M. Warburg & CO KGaA, has been headquartered in Hamburg since it was established in 1798.

The history of the house of M.M.
