Simona Pignamenta
A shared principle: your interest comes first
We come from different backgrounds and institutions, but we share the same conviction: every decision regarding your assets must be made exclusively in your interest. Not in ours, not in that of a third-party bank, and not to satisfy a commercial goal.
At IFO, you will find a team that works together, discusses strategies daily, and shares responsibility for the results.
Our FINMA authorization and AOOS supervision are external confirmation that we operate according to the highest standards of the Swiss financial sector.
Contact us and meet the person who will manage your assets in person
The first step is a no-obligation introductory meeting: an opportunity for us to get to know each other, see if we are a good fit, and evaluate how we can help you.
