Hermes Partners International
Who we are
Hermes Partners International
Your Investments.
Your Legacy.
Our Commitment.
Independent, bespoke, and wholly discreet — we are a trusted Special Situations Advisory partner for Medium enterprises, private investors and Family offices requiring more than financial expertise. We offer something rarer: unwavering personal commitment.
Who We Are
An Independent Special Situations Advisory Firm, Built on Genuine Relationships
Hermes Partners International is an independent advisory firm headquartered in Hong Kong, with a long-standing operational presence in Switzerland and Europe. We have dedicated ourselves to one purpose: serving the real and evolving needs of Medium Enterprises, private investors and Family offices operating in an international environment.
We are not a bank. We are not a fund. We carry no products to sell and no institutional agenda to advance. Our only obligation is solely to the client in front of us — and that independence is the foundation of everything we do.
Our team is comprised of senior professionals who have spent careers at the highest levels of capital markets, corporate finance, general management, and family wealth stewardship. We bring that depth of experience not as a credential but as a living resource — fully engaged on your behalf.
The independence of Hermes Partners enables unbiased solutions, discretion, and absolute integrity — in every engagement, without exception.
Based in one of the world's preeminent financial centers, we are uniquely positioned to serve small to medium sized companies, entrepreneurs and Family offices whose interests span Asia - Europe, and beyond. Our reach is global; our engagement is always personal.
We believe that genuine trust is earned slowly, through consistent honesty and demonstrated results. That is the standard we hold ourselves to — and the experience our clients have come to rely on.
Special Situations Advisory
Special Situations Advisory - in practice
We have assised clients in unique investment situations, such as the presently challenging geopolitical circumstances. As investors increasingly seek to diversify into new spheres, we evaluate for and assist in managing such situations, particularly when involving special risk situations in both established as well as emerging markets:
  • Adjusting to a redrawn '3Ds Galaxy of Risk' environment
  • Emerging Markets: Medium Corporate: "risk structured market entry and management"
  • Rules of the local Business: Medium Corporate: "to WHOM, really, is the risk exposure?"
  • Gold: "right asset : Family Offices: WRONG places - counterparties - instruments - jurisdictions"
  • Geoeconomics: Family Offices Community: "Haves-Wants-Needs" - implications - reaching you
  • Vision - Growth - Returns: Family Offices Community "might not correlate"
  • Defaults: Family Offices: "the age of SELECTIVE defaults - the demise of pari passu"
  • Global Financial Center Jurisdiction: Family Offices: "it depends who you are!"
  • Capital Management: Family Offices: "Stewards of capital: unable to manage their own - can they manage yours?"
What We Believe
Values That Are Not Negotiable
Every firm claims good values. We would rather show you ours through the way we work, the choices we make, and the relationships we build over decades — not marketing copy. But since you are reading this, here is what we genuinely believe:
Integrity Is Absolute
We tell clients what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. Our counsel may not always be comfortable, but it will always be honest. Integrity, for us, is not a policy — it is the only mode of operation we know.
Independence Is Our Strength
Our value to clients rests entirely on our ability to give advice that serves no interest but theirs. We protect our independence jealously because our clients' trust depends on it. We will never accept an engagement that compromises that position.
Relationships Outlast Transactions
We measure success not in fees earned but in relationships maintained across generations. Our most meaningful engagements are those where the children of founding clients come to us with their own families and their own challenges. That continuity is what we work toward.
Complexity Demands Expertise
The situations we are called upon to address are rarely straightforward. We invest relentlessly in the expertise — legal, financial, operational, and cultural — required to navigate genuine complexity. We will never offer a simple answer to a complicated question.
People Before Portfolios
We have never forgotten that behind every balance sheet is a family with hopes, fears, and a story that stretches far beyond numbers. Our advisory is as attentive to the human realities of wealth as it is to the technical ones. Both matter. Both shape our recommendations.
Silence Is Sometimes the Service
Not everything about a client's affairs needs to be recorded, filed, or discussed. We have built a firm in which discretion is structural — not a verbal commitment but an institutional practice. Our clients' privacy is protected by the way we work, not just by what we promise.
Our Approach
Bespoke. Integrated. Discreet.
What distinguishes Hermes Partners is not merely what we do, but how we do it. Our approach is grounded in principles that reflect both the complexity of the work and the deeply personal nature of family wealth stewardship.
01
Genuinely Bespoke
There are no templates here. No packaged solutions and lenghty convoluted presentations. No standardized offerings dressed up as personalized advice. Every engagement begins with careful listening — to your goals, your concerns, your family story — and every recommendation flows from that specific understanding. We believe that truly serving a family requires knowing that family.
02
Fully Integrated
Wealth does not exist in silos and decision made can have implications for tax planning, estate structure, and in some cases family governance. We approach every engagement as a single, interconnected challenge — coordinating across disciplines so that nothing falls through the gaps. Our clients benefit from seamless, holistic counsel rather than fragmented advice from advisors who do not speak to one another.
03
Absolutely Discreet
Discretion is not a feature we offer — it is a principle we live by. Our clients who trust us do so knowing that their affairs, their decisions, and their identities will never be disclosed, referenced, or leveraged. Our firm's independence and private structure mean that no institutional pressure will ever compromise that commitment.
04
Deeply Personal
Wealth is ultimately about people and the structures they want to build. We never lose sight of that. Our senior professionals are directly engaged with every client — not delegated to junior staff once the relationship is established. You will always have access to the people whose judgment you trust, when you need them most.
05
Unconflicted by Design
Our independence is structural, not aspirational. We receive no commissions, no placement fees, no referral income from third parties. The only interest we serve is yours. This is a choice we have made deliberately — because we believe that the best advice can only come from someone with nothing to gain from it except your confidence and continued trust.
Our Clients
Serve Those for Whom the Conventional Path Is Not Enough
Our clients are SMEs, Family offices, Entrepreneurs of significant means who have recognized that the traditional financial services industry — with its product mandates, institutional hierarchies, inherent conflicts — are not designed to serve many of their real needs. We serve this void as an UNconflicted advisor whose loyalty is undivided and whose engagement is genuine.
