Julius Baer Group has launched a new share buyback programme, putting capital returns back on the agenda for investors in the Swiss private bank. The company outlined the structure in its October 30, 2026 announcement.

How The Programme Works

Shares will be purchased through a second trading line on the SIX Swiss Exchange. The release identifies BAERE SW as the programme ticker from November 2, 2026.

Julius Baer said the buyback expenditure will be applied against common equity tier 1 capital, or CET1 capital, as the programme progresses. The board intends to use the capital band approved at the April 9, 2026 annual general meeting to cancel the registered shares repurchased under the programme.

What Investors Should Watch

The structure gives investors a defined route for the bank to return capital while linking the spending directly to its regulatory capital position. Completion will depend on prevailing market conditions, so the pace of purchases may vary.
