Ariane de Rothschild has sought to reassure the clients of her private Swiss bank over her links to Jeffrey Epstein.

The billionaire French banking chief executive of Edmond de Rothschild Group, 60, was in close contact with Epstein from 2013 until 2019, the year he died in a federal jail cell in Manhattan while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

The Baroness, who was revealed to be a confidante of the paedophile in the latest tranche of Epstein files, has insisted her connections and now-public exchanges with him do not undermine “my integrity or the integrity of our group’s activities”.

It is understood that the family-owned private bank and asset management firm, of which Baroness de Rothschild is also chairman, is seeking to reassure spooked clients after the revelations, which have prompted widespread concern about its leadership.

She said in a letter to customers: “Our group is about to announce very solid results with a robust balance sheet and high-quality capital.”
