Her professional career also includes various positions at Laidlaw Global Securities (New York), Smith Barney (New York) and United Overseas Bank (Geneva).

André Rüegg, CEO of Bellevue Asset Management, said: “We're very pleased to have Alexandrine Jaecklin join us. The ongoing success of our multi-asset strategy and resulting greater demand from investors for this product necessitated an increase in size of our team.”
