Zurich, 1 February 2017 - Entrepreneur Partners AG, a FINMA-regulated asset manager in Zurich, announced today that Urs Wietlisbach will join the Board of Directors and will invest in the company.

Financial expert Urs Wietlisbach, one of the founding members of Partners Group, has been appointed to the Board of Directors and will apply his expertise to actively contribute to the expansion of the independent asset manager Entrepreneur Partners.

Oliver Ganz, co-founder and CEO of Entrepreneur Partners, especially values Urs Wietlisbach's knowledge of the financial market and his entrepreneurial drive: "We will undoubtedly be able to benefit from Urs Wietlisbach. His experience as an entrepreneur and investor as well as his extensive network in the financial industry will make an invaluable contribution.
