Financial Strength of Vallis Nostra
Financial strength is a core pillar that supports Vallis Nostra Bank’s long-standing reputation, stability, and growth. This solid foundation protects client assets, reinforces confidence with our global partners, and ensures long-term security for our employees and stakeholders.
Financial Strength — A Foundation of Confidence and Resilience
At Vallis Nostra Bank, financial strength is more than a measure of capital—it is a core principle that safeguards the interests of our clients, counterparties, and employees. This resilience empowers us to navigate periods of global uncertainty with confidence and continuity.
Our strength is the result of disciplined strategic planning, robust risk frameworks, stress-tested contingency measures, and a long-standing commitment to operational excellence. This prudent approach is reflected in our strong capital and liquidity positions, conservative balance sheet management, high-quality assets, and solid credit ratings. Our infrastructure—both technical and organizational—is built to ensure long-term business continuity and institutional resilience.
Vallis Nostra Bank is singularly focused on the stewardship of client wealth and the delivery of world-class investment services. Our operations are structured across four synergistic divisions: private wealth management, institutional asset management, alternative investments, and global asset servicing. Each unit contributes sustainable profitability, further reinforcing our financial position.
With a consistent track record spanning decades, Vallis Nostra Bank has successfully weathered multiple market cycles without recording a single annual loss. In 2024, we once again delivered strong results—affirming our role as a trusted partner in an ever-evolving financial landscape.
Counterparty Oversight Strengthens Financial Resilience and Client Asset Protection
-
VNB Follows Three Foundational Principles in Counterparty Governance:
- Counterparty oversight is a core element of VNB’s financial strength.
- We engage with counterparties whose standards closely align with our own.
- The same rigorous evaluation criteria apply whether a counterparty is used for VNB’s operations or for client transactions.
Informed counterparty selection begins with comprehensive, ongoing fundamental analysis. Our teams conduct in-depth reviews of both financial and qualitative indicators—ranging from capital structure and market standing to governance quality and strategic alignment. This allows VNB to assess each counterparty’s ability to manage risk, maintain regulatory compliance, and adapt to changing market conditions.
When appointing custodians and clearing agents, VNB carries out an additional layer of due diligence. We assess operational practices, system architecture, and team capabilities, while also examining the local regulatory and market infrastructure. Our ongoing monitoring ensures counterparties consistently meet VNB’s high standards for reliability, asset safety, and service continuity—reinforced through regular audits and site visits conducted by our in-house experts.
