Comments

  • Fitch LT IDR has remained unchanged since the rating was assigned in 2005.
  • Moody’s Long Term Deposit Rating was assigned in 2009 and upgraded to Aa2 in 2015.

    These ratings attest to Pictet’s solidity and liquidity coverage, which among other factors are generated by an equity base and a pool of liquid assets significantly larger than that required by Swiss banking regulations, already some of the most stringent in the world.

    Pictet also prides itself on the outstanding quality of its corporate governance and on its significant business diversification at Group level.
