Hottinger & Cie
Hottinger Group is an international wealth management business headquartered in London providing family office, Investment banking and other associated financial services. Hottinger is known as one of the first private banks, created on 1 August 1786 by the Hottinguer family.
The bank Rougemont, Hottinger & Cie was launched in Paris by Jean-Conrad Hottinguer in 1786. The bank was located in the Hôtel de Beaupreaux in front of the Banque de France. The partnership with Denis de Rougemont was effectively ended on 15 October 1790 when Jean-Conrad Hottinger stepped out on his own, launching Hottinger & Cie. In or around 1799 Jean-Conrad added a 'u' to his family name to maintain the correct pronunciation of the name in French.
In 1803, France established a council of fifteen prominent bankers, or members of the Haute Banque. These individuals were known as Regents, with the council of Regents acting as the French central bank for 143 years until it was nationalised in 1946. Jean Conrad was appointed Regent of the Banque de France on 18 August 1803, with a succession of Baron Hottinguers sitting on the council. For the next 133 years, a Hottinger family member was on the Banque de France board.
In 1833, Baron Jean–Henri Hottinguer took the helms of "Hottingeur & Cie". In 1848, the bank bought Banque Delessert and moved the family home to the Hôtel Hottinguer on rue de la Baume in Paris. In 1866, Baron Rodolphe Hottinguer took over the Hottinger Bank. In 1920, Henry Hottinger took over his father at the head of the group.
Caisse d'Epargne, the first French savings bank, was created in Paris in 1818 by a group of banks, financiers, social reformers, and philanthropists that included Delessert Bank, Hottinger & Cie, Joseph Marie de Gérando, Jacques Laffitte, the Duke of La Rochefoucauld-Liancourt, James Mayer de Rothschild, and Vital Roux.
The Banque de l'Union Parisienne was founded on 5 January 1904, with initial capital of 40 million francs. Société Générale de Belgique held 15%, with the private Parisian banks of Hottinger, Mirabaud, Neuflize, Mallet and Vernes capitalising this new investment bank.
In 1968, seeking to expand the family's private banking activities, Baron Henri Hottinguer (1934–2015) moved to Zurich to establish a new Swiss division of Hottinger Group, with Hottinger & Cie in Zurich launching on 13 December 1968.
In 1981, Baron Henri Hottinger (1934–2015) sought to further expand the Hottinger Group by launching operations in London, New York, Nassau and Luxembourg, which were independently capitalised and regulated in their respective jurisdictions by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) in Luxembourg, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the US, and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the UK.
