Digital assets are a dynamic and rapidly evolving alternative asset class. And it’s no longer just ‘crypto natives’ who are investing in this space. Digital assets are increasingly becoming a real alternative for more traditional investors, among other things to enhance risk-adjusted returns.
At Julius Baer, our aim is to make this emerging asset class as accessible and secure as possible for you. With us, you have the choice of investing directly in crypto tokens, or indirectly, for example, in selected exchange-traded products, structured products, and alternative strategies. We also offer secure and regulated custody solutions.
Why opt for digital assets?
Portfolio benefits
Small allocations to digital assets have been shown to have a positive effect on risk-adjusted returns.
Long-term upside potential
While still an emerging asset class, digital assets are swiftly gaining traction and giving rise to an entire ecosystem with significant investment potential.
Disruptive potential
Investing in digital assets enables investors to gain exposure to what is probably one of the biggest macroeconomic trends of our time.
How does it work?
If you’re thinking about investing in this asset class, your relationship manager will be happy to advise you about which options are available to you and ensure that any investments you are considering align with your risk profile and investment goals.
If you opt for a direct investment, you will be able to choose from a range of crypto tokens. Your tokens will then be securely held in a dedicated crypto storage set-up. If you prefer to invest in financial instruments, you will have various options to choose from, all of which have undergone a rigorous selection process and are subject to ongoing monitoring.
And no matter which option you choose, your relationship manager will be there to help you navigate the digital assets universe, and provide you with access to critical analysis, research, and news updates on this asset class.
The products and services offered depend on the domicile of the client and the legal entity of Julius Baer.

Our answers to some frequently asked questions:
What kind of services and solutions do you offer for digital assets?
Julius Baer provides trading, execution, and custody services for selected direct tokens, as well as indirect investment solutions including exchange-traded products and funds. We also offer bespoke solutions on a case-by-case basis, for example, enabling clients to use crypto tokens as collateral to help them meet their financing needs.
In addition, we provide thought leadership, news updates, and critical analysis across a range of publications and digital channels.
Are Julius Baer’s custody solutions for digital assets secure?
For our custody solutions, we partner with AMINA (formerly SEBA) Bank AG. AMINA Bank is our sub-custodian and one of the first crypto banks in Switzerland to be licenced by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). Together with AMINA Bank, we offer both ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ storage.
Can I transfer my digital assets to Julius Baer?
Yes, you can. We offer incoming and outgoing digital asset transfers, which means you can transfer your assets directly to us without having to convert them in any way. Due to our strict compliance requirements, the transfer process involves a forensic blockchain analysis of your wallet address and a proof-of-ownership procedure.
Any digital assets that you have with Julius Baer are included in the regular reporting you receive from us.
