SODITIC
The Soditic group of companies is a diversified financial services
organization active in the fields of investment research, asset
management, corporate finance and trade finance. Soditic SA was
established in 1971, in Geneva, Switzerland. Its original shareholders
were Banca Commerciale Italiana ( Banca Intesa) and Banque de Paris et
des Pays Bas ( Paribas). Later, the firm's managing partners became
shareholders.
S.G. Warburg & Co. acquired
a minority interest in the firm in 1981 and subsequently increased its
stake to 50% in 1987 and to 100% in 1990 at which point Soditic became
S.G. Warburg Suisse S.A. Following Swiss Bank Corporation's
acquisition of S.G. Warburg, Soditic was re-launched in 1995 in
partnership with Solomon Smith Barney Citigroup and Mercury Asset
Management. Over the years, Soditic repurchased the stakes of its
minority shareholders and the group is currently owned by its managing
partners.
