Chronicle
The cornerstone of Buchenbach Finanziell, Limited is the ongoing legacy of being privately owned and governed by the same family for five generations. This seasoned heritage brings to bear a deep knowledge and full understanding of both private and public banking and finance. We are keenly adept at recognizing opportunity and the timeliness to position yet, always attentive of the bedrock concept of risk and return. We are ever mindful to draw upon the knowledge and expertise gained through our 130 year history; however, forward thinking enough to be innovative and willing to accept global and market variations and evolution.
The Old World, for centuries until very recent times, exchange of value was based in gold. It has only been of late that governments have varied from gold standard currency bases to faith and credit based currencies. It is because of the history of the financial world combined with the current unstable aspects of many countries’ currencies that we maintain our capital structure at a market value basis of the world's oldest currency - gold. Even though we transact business for our clients in multi-country currencies we are heedful to the fact that in any type of global crisis the monetary standard will fall back to the original bedrock - gold. This is one of our many ties between old ways and new. We transact within the same markets with the same abilities and methods as the majority of the financial industry yet have the reserves that if catastrophic conditions arise our clients are safe in their values. Unlike the public institutions and even many of the private, we do not float debt to show artificial capital levels as we grow at the pace we desire and is necessary to fulfill our client expectations. Our approach to finance is to maximize return within the realm of being quiet, safe, and secure.
Our methods are different in other aspects, as well. We do not make our profits in non-interest income categories. Most investment companies and banking divisions charge for services based upon total assets and/or trading volumes. We base our commission structure on only the profit margin that we acquire for you and any actual transactional costs. We have yet to understand why any client would pay a banker, investment officer, wealth manager or anyone else their hard earned monies to not earn a profit.
Another area of difference is that various private and public institutions expend great advertising resources to expound upon how they acquire sub-custodians to hold assets in their differing countries and carefully select and monitor these custodians for their clients. Buchenbach Finanziell, Limited does not outsource this service and we only safekeep in locations where we have a physical presence. The advertising ploy of these public and private corporations, in reality, has added only a layer of risk not only of security but geopolitical and informational to themselves and their clients.
Some private banks want to advertise how they strictly minimize risk and only allow securities of the highest quality with a required minimum coverage far in excess of full market value for any margin accounts. These types of policies and procedures limit investors to only the banks’ individual investment policies and close the door in the face of all moderate and high risk investors. At Buchenbach Finanziell, Limited we believe an investor is an individual with individual interests, parameters, and goals. The client’s portfolio should match their unique financial personality. Investments are a private personal choice and should not be dictated to the client by undue limiting factors imposed by the institution. We match the portfolio risk and return to the client’s investment profile and are product-neutral in that we are independent and unbiased in the products recommended to our clients. The financial environment has changed 180 degrees in recent times as banks previously existed to serve their clients. However, most institutions today only portray to do so while undermining the client as they compel clients to conform to their methods of business.
Being private has its privileges. We are here to serve our clients, their needs, and ambitions just as we have for the last 130 years. We hold to our deep roots of client satisfaction through wealth preservation and growth. Because we are solely client based we offer the gamut from AAA rated securities, checking accounts and savings certificates to fully managed funds and hedge funds. Buchenbach Finanziell, Limited, like the Phoenix, continually rising above client expectations.
