Rhône Gestion is as much a story of finance as it is one of friendship between Marcel Hagger and Arturo Fasana. Driven by shared convictions and common values rooted in their love of family, these two asset managers rapidly built a relationship of trust – and long-lasting friendships – with their clients seeking results and the transfer of wealth to their children.

On Black Monday, October 19, 1987, history proves us right (and not for the last time). Our management philosophy, rooted in tradition, rigor and stability, enables our team to keep its cool. That levelheadedness in dealing with the ensuing turmoil solidifies our clients’ confidence in us and the medium and long-term plans we laid out for them.

On November 9, 1989, the fall of the Berlin Wall profoundly redraws the map of the world. It’s a turning point in history but it has little impact on Rhône Gestion. Faithful to our direction and with 10 more employees on our team the following year, we continue to grow exclusively through word of mouth.

Embracing his father Marcel’s time-tested approach and bringing his own broker experience in the field, Bertrand Hagger joins Rhône Gestion and lays the foundation for the firm’s evolving family structure. It’s a milestone that takes place around the same time as the birth of a future giant, Amazon, the launch of Windows 95 and the introduction of Switzerland’s electronic stock market. It’s also the year we retire our good old telex.

In September of that year, a crisis leads to Russia defaulting on its debt and blowing up bond rates. The ensuing market turmoil bankrupts the hedge fund LTCM and forces Wall Street’s big merchant banks and some European banks to quickly recapitalize. Our clients, however, are not affected. Then as now, our firm categorically refuses to invest in this type of speculation on failure.

The new millennium brings with it the launch of the euro as well as the bursting of the internet bubble and ensuing collapse of NASDAQ. This doesn’t affect our customers, of course, because we’ve never confused value with valuation. It’s also the year we move into our new home on the banks of the Rhône, where history winds its way, like this long quiet river.

The worst economic and financial year in history since 1929. The subprime crisis in the United States engulfs bank after bank, pushing the world into unprecedented social and economic turmoil, not to mention exposing the excesses of Bernard Madoff’s monumental swindle. Once again, Rhône Gestion's distrust of structured products and alternative asset management (which we never understood…) enables us to protect our clients' assets.
