WE ARE BERGOS-CROSSROAD

Achieving this balance may not align with your daily responsibilities, expertise, or passions. This is where a family office’s capabilities become invaluable.

Whether you have built wealth through entrepreneurship, are safeguarding family capital, or preparing to take on new responsibilities, you are faced with complexity.

Acting as a trusted partner, a family office helps you navigate the interplay of family, business, and legacy with clarity and confidence.

IntroducingBergos-Crossroad / Enterprise and Family Solutions

Kreuzstrasse sign

Built on the heritage of centuries-old private banking, tracing its origins to the world’s second-oldest bank founded in 1590, Bergos-Crossroad combines tradition with innovation and expertise. The name Crossroad is a homage to our home at Kreuzstrasse, Zurich.

Our Enterprise and Family Solutions are shaped by the experience of our entrepreneurial owners – prominent Swiss and German business leaders. Our dedicated advisors work closely with you to design and implement tailored solutions that address your needs and priorities, calling on our trusted network of specialists when needed.

We aspire to earn your confidence and advise you in a holistic manner in your endeavours and activities. We believe in holistic, long-term partnership – supporting you today, tomorrow, and beyond your generation. Recognizing that younger family members often seek their own path, we empower the next generation through education, advice, and engagement.

Bergos-Crossroad is independent from Bergos Private Bank, being a client of the bank is no precondition for engaging with us. However, we operate on the FINMA-licenced platform of a full service Swiss private bank, guaranteeing highest standards of discretion, governance, and risk management.
