Both appointments are effective as of 7 September 2021. Since its inception two years ago, Key Family Partners has established a blueprint for a new generation of multi-family offices offering the highest standards of governance and sophisticated investment solutions.

Before joining Key Family Partners, Emanuele Zanon di Valgiurata was Head of Private Banking at Banque Morval in Geneva, a subsidiary of the Zanon di Valgiurata family-owned Morval Vonwiller Group until its sale to Italian banking group lntesa San Paolo. Having started his banking career in 1990 in Paris, he joined Banque Morval in 1993, later becoming a member of the Investment Committee and the Executive Committee in 2002.

Thierry de Loriol, Executive Chairman, declared: "We are delighted to have Emanuele Zanon di Valgiurata join our exclusive circle of member families. His rich experience and vast network as a private banker will allow us to bring our unique concept to a wider audience. For his part, thanks to his strong technical expertise, Simon Minder will be extremely useful in keeping our edge in operational infrastructure. Their combined experience in wealth management will not only contribute to further strengthen Key Family Partners' footprint in Switzerland, but also continue to establish us as a new generation independent multi-family office with the highest standards of governance."

A private investment club for selected families

Founded by Hugues d'Annoux and Morten H. Kielland, Key Family Partners is designed as a sophisticated private investment club, which provides high net worth families with a professional structure offering state-of-the-art solutions in asset allocation, investment, reporting and administrative services. Key Family Partners offers clients advisory or discretionary mandates in equities and fixed income.

Participating families have the opportunity to become equity partners and thus share the success of their multi-family office. This close relationship further strengthens the idea of a 'club' approach to deals, with families happy to share their deal flow, and expand their network and investment reach.

Two years of success

Since its inception two years ago, Key Family Partners has successfully built a full wealth management offering, encompassing traditional and alternative investments. Thanks to its high allocation weighting in alternatives, in particular private equity, its families portfolios have achieved strong returns. The 'club deals' continue to expand and flourish, with 24 investments into private equity and real estate, and 4 successful exits so far. The strong interest from client families and partners into this deal flow has spurred the firm to open co-investments to other family offices and professional investors that share the same entrepreneurial mindset.
