Overview

Switzerland must focus on new ways to compete in the international financial world. But what should this focus be?

The recent revelations in the Panama Papers have again thrown the spotlight on the workings and propriety of the provision of wealth management services and combined with increasing geo-political pressures, especially around transparency, each wealth management centre must now find a new way to compete.

There are now many more people with red flags and with the Common Reporting Standard and information sharing with the US, together with competition from a growing number of other centres, the landscape has never been more challenging for Swiss wealth management.

Switzerland’s leading position can be maintained but it will require new directions upon which to compete in the world; service, asset management, unique wealth structuring vehicles, convenience…

Which should be the focus? What needs to be done to strengthen and enhance Switzerland’s offering?

And how can technology be leveraged in this challenging new environment?
