Swiss Wealth Management

The Swiss Standard in Wealth Management

A Legacy of Stability and
Forward-Thinking Expertise

Switzerland remains the world’s leading centre for international wealth management. At the end of 2019, Swiss institutions managed $1.84 trillion in international assets, surpassing both the United Kingdom ($1.79 trillion) and the United States ($1.48 trillion). Together, these three financial hubs account for around 60% of the global market for international assets. Switzerland’s standing is underpinned by political and economic stability, high service quality, and strong digital maturity. It continues to hold a competitive edge thanks to the digital skills of its workforce, deep experience in serving international clients, and a customer-focused approach.

“When it comes to choosing a location to invest their assets, today’s international wealth management clients are looking for excellent service, which includes digital tools, and a top-notch advisory experience. Tax and regulatory conditions are still important, but more as a standard that financial hubs are expected to fulfil,”

“Switzerland is still the go-to place for first-rate client experience, which is why we can be confident about the future of the Swiss wealth management hub. Swiss banks have done their homework well in the last couple of years, and even got their relatively high costs under control, increasing their cost-to-income ratios and profitability.” said Daniel Kobler, who leads Deloitte’s Private Banking & Wealth Management Industry in Switzerland.

 

We have selected Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States as our three global wealth management centres. With each jurisdiction covered by our network of associated partners, we provide truly international coverage.

Our clients vary from private HNW individuals, successful serial entrepreneurs and family offices to corporate bodies and institutional investors globally. We are flexible and can work together with clients’ existing professional advisors to realize the most appropriate solutions.

It takes a lot of time and expertise to stay on top of market trends, analyse vast amounts of news and data to substantiate the right investment decisions. Our advisory mandate enables the clients to have a firm foundation to take those decisions. While we monitor the global financial markets, at times down to single projects, we are able to present our clients with relevant, tailored information and investment opportunities suitable to their strategy at the frequency of their choice. Once client instructions or confirmations are received, we execute the orders accordingly in the respective portfolio.

Our investment managers work with each client to determine the individual investment strategy best suited to risk profile and personal financial goals and objectives. This includes a view on personal lifestyle, professional and family planning and individual expertise in the investment universe. We then establish the right balance between desired yield and inherent risk exposure and develop our investment strategy for the client profile.
We monitor asset allocation, performance and portfolio diversification in real time against market cycles and apply statistical and quantitative analytical systems to test market trends. Our investment managers put their long-time experience to work for you and offer several strategies:

  • Anti-cyclical investing

  • ETFs
  • Option trading and other Derivative driven models
  • Commodities
  • Fixed income strategies
