A Life Where Finance Meets Art and Purpose

In a world where wealth often chases trends, Patrick Buri stands apart — a rare figure who merges financial visionphilanthropic purpose, and refined style with seamless ease. An investor, philanthropist, and political science advisor, Buri has become synonymous with the kind of sophistication that bridges old-money  and new-money.

As Chairman of Bankset Group Capital, Buri oversees a global portfolio that spans finance, real estate, sustainable infrastructure, and alternative investments — making him a key player in shaping the future of ethical and intelligent capitalism.


From Columbia to Capital Markets

A graduate of Columbia University in New York, Patrick Buri’s academic foundation in political science and economics shaped his globally minded approach to finance. Early in his career, he worked in Zurich, Geneva and New York, where he advised private-banking clients on long-term capital preservation and asset growth.

In 1996, he founded Bankset Group, today recognized as one of the few multinational investment holdings blending traditional wealth management with modern financial engineering.


Leading a Global Investment Vision

Under Buri’s leadership, Bankset Group became an early advocate for sustainable finance and long-term infrastructure development. The company’s expansion reflects his forward-thinking ethos:

  • 1996–2002: Bankset began consulting for major Swiss private-banking divisions.
  • 2005–2012: Expanded into advising pension funds and sovereign clients on infrastructure and ESG investment (including the crown estate in London)
  • 2012–Present: Diversified into real estate, renewable energy, and alternative markets across Europe, China, and the Middle East.

By prioritizing both innovation and integrity, Buri has positioned himself as a visionary investor — one whose strategies are informed as much by ethics as by economics.


A Commitment to Philanthropy and Cultural Diplomacy

Patrick Buri’s influence extends beyond finance. As a philanthropist and political-science advisor, he supports initiatives in education, sustainability, and cultural diplomacy.

He serves on multiple nonprofit and institutional boards and has lent his expertise to academic programs promoting youth entrepreneurship and economic literacy. His presence at global charity events — from Paris to Monte Carlo — underscores a belief that wealth has purpose when it’s shared wisely.

“We have the tools to make an impact that lasts generations — that’s the real measure of success,”
