About us
Glarner Kantonalbank was founded in Glarus in 1884 and is a universal bank for retail and business customers. We employ around 260 people. Our focus is on mortgage and savings as well as on asset management and investments. At the same time, Glarner Kantonalbank is considered a digital pioneer in the Swiss financial market and has launched several online-exclusive products. One of these online products is freeME, Glarner Kantonalbank's digital vested pension benefits solution in collaboration with the Liberty Foundation for Vested Pension Benefits.
Our asset management approach
In the investment business, Glarner Kantonalbank has achieved above-average performance for many years. Long-term success is very important to us. As such, we do not take any unnecessary risks in our decision-making. We are particularly adept at identifying long-term trends and themes. These are used in our "future trends" mandates. When selecting our investment instruments, we rely on the best-in-class approach: We choose the best collective investments for our customers, taking into account both index funds and active funds. This combination pays off in the long term because it allows us to outperform the respective benchmark indices after costs.
Our strengths
Transparency, agility and short decision-making paths are the hallmarks of Glarner Kantonalbank's asset management. We react quickly to changes in the financial markets and follow a strict and disciplined investment process in order to invest successfully over the long term. Sustainability is an important element of our investment process. We believe that sustainable investments improve the risk-return profile of a portfolio over the long term. Therefore, we only use investments that meet our sustainability criteria. Our best-in-class approach means that we are independent and can select the best funds for our customers. In line with our motto: The interests of our customers are at the heart of our business.
