About us

The history of RESCAD

The history of RESCAD begins in 2004. as Gian Heim, who had already worked for several years in institutional asset management for ROLEX Holding and for the ROLEX pension funds, was entrusted with the establishment and subsequent administration of two charitable foundations. From that moment onward, the administration and organization of donations to non-profit institutions were part of his core area of responsibility. So many years of experience make therefore RESCAD an expert in institutional asset management, pension fund management, philanthropy and family office services.

Due to the very positive development of assets under management, Gian founded RESCAD AG in 2010 with the aim of making management services available to private clients as well. Since then, assets under management have been rising steadily. This encouraging growth ultimately prompted RESCAD to seek certification and supervision by FINMA (the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority) in 2019 and, at the same time, to launch two proprietary investment funds and a swiss indirect real estate L-QIF Fund in 2024.

Its roots in Graubünden, its long-standing place of work in Chur, and its good local contacts made the establishment of the RESCAD office in Chur in 2022 the next logical step in the company’s history. RESCAD is now in a position to serve all areas of Switzerland and offer consulting services in all four national languages.
