Wealth management, guided by experts

Guide by

When it comes to tax regimes, you could say that there are 26 different Switzerlands. Tax laws vary so much from canton to canton, that even the natives can get a bit puzzled. If you’re an expat in Switzerland, the situation can seem even more confusing – particularly when pension provisions and health insurance are added into the mix.

Do you need professional wealth management advice?

Not sure if wealth management advice is right for you? This 8-point checklist will help you understand if this service can help you:

  • Are you a 30+ professional?

  • Are you saving on a regular basis?

  • Are you having trouble understanding the tax regime in your canton and how to navigate it?

  • Are you unsure what kind of pension plan best fits your needs?

  • Are you unsure whether your current health insurance is the best choice for you and your family?

  • Do you want to protect yourself and your loved ones in a situation requiring advanced care planning, but you’re not sure how to set it all up?

  • Do you want to invest your savings, but you don’t know which investment opportunities potentially offer advantageous yields, while also suiting your needs and lifestyle?

  • Do you need help with a retirement plan that will assure that you can maintain the lifestyle you want?

If you answered YES to at least two of the questions above, wealth management is something you could really benefit from. The differences in tax law and pension funds can vary widely between different parts of Switzerland. For instance, maximum marginal tax rates range between 20% and 45%, and wealth taxes also differ, ranging from 0.15% to 1%. On the other hand, investment opportunities are virtually endless.

Luckily, you don’t have to deal with all these details on your own. Experienced wealth management solution providers like Vontobel can help to make your life easier and give you options for growing your wealth.
