According to a statement from the Zurich-based investment house, Vontobel Swiss Financial Advisors (SFA) appointed Victor Cuenca as head of wealth management in its Miami, Florida office. The firm is a subsidiary of Vontobel, providing licensed offshore private banking services to US clients from Switzerland.
The appointment of Cuenca explicitly expands the offering to a Latin American clientele. For the region's wealthy, Miami is an important hub.
