Zurich – 23 August 2025 – Hardt Group Securities S.A., a multi-award-winning European investment firm with over €1 billion in assets under management, has announced a strategic expansion of its services to cater directly to retail investors. This move marks a significant evolution for the company, which has built its reputation over three decades working predominantly with institutional clients across Europe.
The expansion is spearheaded by Chris Williams, the firm’s newly appointed Head of Fixed Income, based in Zurich, Switzerland. Williams brings a wealth of expertise, having previously served more than seven years at leading global investment bank, where he was instrumental in managing large-scale fixed income portfolios and advising on capital-protected structures for high-net-worth clients and sovereign funds.
Strategic Partnerships with Leading European Banks
Hardt Group Securities is an appointed introducer for fixed income products from over 50 of Europe’s largest and most respected banks, providing clients with access to an unparalleled network of secure investment opportunities. Many of these products benefit from the EU Deposit Guarantee Scheme, offering coverage of up to €100,000 per bank account for single account holders and €200,000 for joint accounts.
This direct access to a wide range of capital-protected investments and fixed-term deposits gives retail clients the same calibre of opportunities previously reserved for institutional investors.
A Shift Toward Retail Excellence
Over the last six months, the firm has transitioned from focusing solely on institutional clients to also welcoming retail investors, offering them the chance to benefit from secure, high-yield investment products designed to deliver consistent returns with capital preservation at the core.
“We believe that retail investors deserve the same level of access, transparency, and security as our institutional partners,” said Sophie Harrington, Head of Public Relations at Hardt Group Securities. “Our expansion into the retail space is a natural progression for the firm, given our strong network of banking relationships and our deep expertise in structuring fixed income solutions that prioritise both yield and safety.”
Award-Winning Expertise & Client-First Ethos
With headquarters in Luxembourg, a trading floor in Zurich, Hardt Group Securities has received multiple industry awards for excellence in wealth management, product innovation, and client service. The firm’s core philosophy centres on building trust through transparency, regulatory compliance, and results-driven portfolio strategies.
Chris Williams added: “Having worked in the fixed income divisions of some of the world’s most respected financial institutions, I can say with confidence that Hardt Group Securities offers a unique combination of security, access, and expertise. This is an exciting time for the firm and for retail investors across Europe who are seeking stable, predictable returns in a volatile global market.”
