Raus aus Zürich: Die Bank Vontobel verlegt 2030 ihren Hauptsitz in den Kanton Zug
Vontobel wird in Baar einen neuen Hauptsitz beziehen. Steuerliche Vorteile sollen nicht ausschlaggebend für den Entscheid gewesen sein.
Vontobel, a Zurich-based bank, plans to relocate its headquarters to Baar, a canton in Zug, by 2030. The decision was not primarily driven by tax advantages, as previously thought. The bank intends to build a new campus in the Lindenpark district of Baar, where approximately 1,500 employees will work. This move follows a recent acquisition by the larger Vontobel Holding company and the bank's leadership team.
Zürich will lose another firm with this relocation, as it has lost the most companies to other locations in 2025. Baar, however, is solidifying its reputation as an attractive business location, already home to several major companies, including Private-Equity firm Partners Group, Glencore, Sika, and numerous financial firms. Vontobel's decision to move away from Zürich, despite its historical ties to the city, is intended to create a more Swiss and international presence.
The relocation does not affect the bank's IT infrastructure, which will remain in Zürich's Albisrieden and Hagenholz locations.
