Philipp Rickenbacher appointed as new member of the Board of Directors of iAccess Partners

Philipp Rickenbacher served as Group CEO of Julius Baer from 2019 to 2024 and held various global roles at the Swiss private bank since 2004. Prior to joining Julius Baer, Rickenbacher spent seven years as a management consultant at McKinsey & Company in Zurich. He holds a degree in Biotechnology from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich.

In addition to his role at iAccess Partners, Philipp Rickenbacher is active as an independent advisor, investor, and board member.

iAccess Partners was founded in 2021 with the aim of making Private Markets investments easily, securely, and efficiently accessible to private clients and smaller institutional investors. Since then, the company has continuously expanded its range of services and now offers private investors, family offices, smaller pension funds, and financial intermediaries (including banks and independent wealth managers) modular Private Markets solutions that significantly reduce traditional investment barriers. With minimum investment amounts of CHF 10’000 (for evergreen funds) and CHF 25’000 (for all other Private Markets investments), a Swiss securities number (ISIN) for each investment (allowing for booking into any Swiss securities account), a fully digital investment process (simplifying administration and communication throughout the investment lifecycle), and competitive fees, iAccess Partners enables its clients to tap into the attractive potential of Private Markets.

The product offering of iAccess Partners covers the full spectrum of Private Markets – including evergreen funds, closed-ended funds, individual deals, and tailor-made solutions. In parallel, iAccess Partners provides infrastructure services to independent wealth managers, banks, and fund managers, allowing them to efficiently outsource the operational management of smaller investors in their own Private Markets vehicles (such as client onboarding, aggregation of smaller tickets, and ongoing performance reporting) via the iAccess Partners infrastructure.

“Private Markets are playing an increasingly important role in investment portfolios. iAccess Partners simplifies access to Private Markets with a clear focus on the needs of clients and the financial industry. I am excited to support a young company that aims to drive innovation and growth through Swiss financial technology”, says Philipp Rickenbacher.

Philipp Rickenbacher joins the Board of Directors of iAccess Partners AG, which includes, among others, Bruno Pfister, former CEO of Swiss Life and current Chairman of the Board of Directors at iAccess Partners. “I am delighted that Philipp Rickenbacher, with his expertise and experience in wealth, product, and investment management is strengthening the Board of Directors of iAccess Partners and will actively and effectively support the company in its continued development”, comments Bruno Pfister.
