Family office
Family office in Geneva
close to you, in the heart of the city
Ridger is a Swiss multi-family office based on boulevard Georges-Favon in Geneva. We bring your wealth into a single view and coordinate your advisers, without managing your assets.
Ridger is based in Geneva and works with families across Switzerland.
Geneva is our home base. This is where we welcome families, meet their advisers and follow their affairs day to day.
Our work is digital first: consolidated reporting, a digital vault and online exchanges. But in Geneva, a meeting at our office is always an option.
Meetings at our office
We welcome you at our Geneva office for the moments that matter: a first meeting, the annual review of your wealth, family decisions. The rest of the time, you reach us however you prefer.
Your Geneva advisers, coordinated
Private banks, independent asset managers, lawyers, notaries: we work with the advisers you already have. We also prepare the documents expected by the Administration fiscale cantonale and follow deadlines with your tax adviser.
Families from here and elsewhere
Many Geneva families have ties to several countries. We work in French, English, German, Spanish and Portuguese, and coordinate advisers in Switzerland and abroad.
