CEO, EFG Panama
Market Head, EFG Panama
ALBERTO FADUL FLECKNER Since obtaining our investment advisory license in August 2023, we have reached several significant milestones. First, we became the third-largest investment advisor in Panama in terms of assets under management. This underscores the trust that clients place in us and reflects our team’s high level of dedication. Second, we enhanced EFG’s existing institutional business in Panama, which has been serving local institutional clients for over 20 years, by introducing a state-of-the-art integrated wealth management platform. Our multi-booking platform gives our clients unparalleled flexibility when deciding where to book their assets. Through our Panama advisory office our clients can book their assets in Switzerland, the Bahamas or the US, while we deliver a seamless experience that is tailored to their needs. Third, our office in Panama has emerged as key for our operations across Latin America due to its strategic location.
ROGER CASTILLERO Our integrated wealth management platform sets us apart as EFG is the only investment advisor in the region offering clients the option to choose between different booking centers. In this way, we can deliver holistic financial solutions that are tailored to their legal and succession planning needs and are aligned with their individual financial objectives. Clients can gain access to a wide range of investment products and services, credit solutions and financing options. At the same time, our model allows us to provide exceptional service to our clients, addressing both personal and professional financial goals. Importantly, this flexibility not only enhances their investment strategies but also helps to reduce concentration risks.
