Zurich (ots)

As of 1 July 2007, Société International de
Finance, the Zurich-based Family Office and securities dealer, is
changing its name to Quilvest Switzerland Ltd. This change signals
the intention to develop and leverage the Quilvest brand throughout
the Group companies. The addition of Switzerland to the name
emphasizes the Group's commitment to Switzerland as a financial hub
and its place in the country's prestigious wealth-management
community.

The Quilvest Group is the financial arm of the founding
family of the Argentine brewery Quilmes. The Group has its
headquarters in Luxembourg as well as a branch office in Paris.
Quilvest is active mainly in the area of private equity and as a
Family Office for high-net-worth private clients and entrepreneurs.
Its presence in Switzerland goes back over 75 years.

Quilvest Switzerland Ltd is one of the largest Multi-Family
Offices in Europe, with a staff of over 75.
