Deep Value: cash covers more than 100% of the stock price

This company holds roughly £28.24B in cash and investments — more than its entire stock-market value, based on its latest quarterly filing. You're paying very little for the actual business. Sometimes that's a genuine bargain or a takeover target, sometimes it's cheap for a reason. Not a buy signal on its own — always ask why it's this cheap.

§Winston Score History

The full picture

Julius Bär is a Swiss private bank that manages money for wealthy individuals and families around the world. Its main service is wealth management — helping rich clients invest, protect, and grow their assets. The firm focuses exclusively on private clients, unlike larger universal banks that also serve everyday consumers or big corporations.

The company earns money primarily through fees and commissions tied to the assets it manages, meaning revenue rises and falls with financial markets and client wealth levels. Julius Bär operates mainly in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East, with its headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland, and manages roughly CHF 470 billion in client assets. Its moat comes from its long reputation, trusted brand among high-net-worth clients, and a pure-play focus on wealth management that larger rivals cannot easily replicate. The key risk is that falling markets directly shrink the asset base the firm charges fees on, which quickly pressures revenue and profits.
