Julius Baer Group Ltd. plans to open an office in Lisbon next year as it seeks to tap into the wealth of a growing number of affluent foreigners taking up residence in Portugal.

The Swiss wealth manager wants to have a presence that’s closer to its Portuguese clients and is in the process of getting regulatory approvals, a person familiar with the move said, asking not to be identified because the matter isn’t public.
