In private banking, the client relationship portfolio is a banker's most valuable asset.
Private banking recruits profiles where the commercial and relational dimension outweighs technical finance alone. Turgot Executive Search assesses candidate private bankers on the quality and real transferability of their clientele, alongside their expertise in asset allocation and wealth engineering, with the discretion this type of move demands.
We qualify the nature, loyalty and real transferability of a private banker's client relationship portfolio.
Beyond sales skill, we assess the candidate's technical mastery of tax and wealth-planning issues.
A private banker's move must stay confidential until finalised, to avoid weakening the client relationship.
Recruiting in private banking starts with qualifying the client segment targeted by our client — entrepreneurs, international wealth, professionals — to identify candidates whose experience genuinely matches. The direct approach is then conducted with absolute discretion, a condition for discussing any potential transfer of a wealth relationship.
Through an analysis of how long-standing the relationship is, its dependence on the banker as a person, and its coherence with the recruiting institution's positioning.
Yes, our mandates cover senior bankers as well as regional or national private banking leadership roles.
Yes, almost always, to protect the approached banker's client relationship until the move is actually finalised.
Private banking recruitment operates on a market where trust is the primary asset. A senior private banker rarely changes institutions without a compelling project — not just a better compensation package. Identifying, approaching and convincing a top private banker requires sector credibility, discretion, and a deep understanding of what actually motivates a move.
Turgot Executive Search recruits senior private bankers, heads of private banking, and wealth management directors for major banks (BNP Paribas Wealth Management, HSBC Private Banking, Société Générale Private Banking, Crédit Agricole Indosuez), independent private banks, and multi-family offices. We operate on the Paris market and in Singapore for Asia-Pacific mandates.
