Swiss Bank Edmond De Rothschild Monitors Epstein Links

The Geneva-based wealth manager is reporting continued inflows of new money.

Since the publication of the documents by the United States Department of Justice (DoJ), bank directors have acted“promptly and responsibly” to protect the interests of clients, employees and shareholders, the bank stated.

The board of directors, chaired by Yves Perrier, is now working closely with executives to ensure“coordinated and thorough independent monitoring of the situation”.

Ariane de Rotschild's name appears several times in the DoJ's“Epstein files” published at the beginning of January. According to the email correspondence posted online, connections between the two began at a professional level in 2013. The US businessman is said to have gradually become a strategic advisor and confidant.

Following the publication of these documents, the bank stated that Ariane de Rothschild had met Epstein several times between 2013 and 2019“in the course of her normal activities within the group”. However, she had“no knowledge of Epstein's personal behaviour”.

Meanwhile, the private bank continued its growth last year. It had recorded net new money inflows of around CHF10 billion in 2025, bringing the inflows over the past three years to around CHF25 billion.

Since the beginning of the year, a further CHF5 billion net has flowed into the bank, bringing assets under management to a record level of over CHF200 billion. The inflows have remained strong even after January 30, the bank said.

It will announce detailed figures“shortly”.
