Partners across
generations
Your life, your family, your wealth.
Connected with foresight.
Bodewise Cottonfield is an independent Swiss multi-family office for families and individuals who value a partner who understands them as people. Today and for generations to come.
Philosophy
Partnership
A family office is above all a matter of trust.
As an individual or family, we accompany you on your journey – with a clear focus on the sustainable preservation and prudent growth of your wealth for generations to come. Our work as a trusted partner is defined by discretion, diligence, and a truly personal dialogue.
Individuality
Every individual and every family is unique – and their strategy should reflect that individuality.
We develop independent solutions that extend beyond financial matters, embracing personal, family, and entrepreneurial aspects in a holistic and coherent manner.
Perspective
Our ambition is to identify compelling investment opportunities with foresight and to create enduring perspectives for your future.
The foundation for this is our long-standing experience in financial markets, active monitoring of market developments, and an established network of recognized experts with deep technological understanding.
Our two partners from BODEWISE COTTONFIELD, Julian and Philip recognised early on what is important to be able to serve their clientele in a sustainable and satisfactory manner. With their refreshing and healthy approach to the task, there can only be a successful future.

Services
Navigating the twists & turns of life
Challenges and opportunities often go hand in hand. Different life stages, evolving family dynamics, and entrepreneurial decisions require foresight.
As a Swiss family office, we support international clients in navigating complex environments, enabling clarity and well-informed decisions. For each family, we develop tailored solutions that integrate all relevant dimensions and align with your specific circumstances.
Our commitment is to cultivate long-term relationships built on trust, continuity, and an open, personal dialogue.
Strategy & Governance
In an increasingly dynamic world, having a trusted and independent advisor is essential. We act consistently in the best interests of our clients and avoid potential conflicts.
With clear objectives and a focus on long-term value, we work alongside you to develop robust structures for family, business, and wealth. The result is a reliable framework that provides clarity and direction, enabling well-informed decisions.
Succession, Tax & Law
Succession presents every family with particular challenges. The transition between generations has far-reaching implications for the business, its stakeholders, and the family itself.
We support our clients in making key succession decisions and guide them through every phase of the process, developing tailored solutions aligned with the specific family context, the next generation, and the relevant legal and tax frameworks.
Private Family Office Services
Our aim is to relieve our international clients of administrative and organizational responsibilities, enabling them to focus on what matters most.
We take on a wide range of everyday tasks and support the structured organization of key matters – from payment processing and document management to the development of contingency and long-term planning solutions.
Team
Our team blends the experience of a family office tradition dating back to 2004 with the perspectives of a new generation. The merger of Bodewise and Cottonfield in 2026 gave rise to a multi family office built on a shared foundation of independence, continuity and professionalism.
These values shape our work and our aspirations. We take the time to understand your personal circumstances, your objectives and the needs of your family in a holistic manner. This enables us to provide independent advice and support families across generations with a long-term perspective.
