Geneva services

The attractions of Switzerland as a financial services centre are well known and range from its access to investors, standard of living and infrastructure through to its excellent reputation for providing client service of the highest quality. Switzerland boasts a wealth of qualified multi-lingual staff in a company friendly jurisdiction. This makes it an attractive place for investors and independent managers. 

Outside of the EU but within EFTA, Switzerland has established a series of bilateral agreements covering areas like trade and taxation and is adapting its law in the area of fund management to the European Union’s AIFM Directive to ensure that it maintains access to the EU investment universe and adopts international norms in the area of regulation, satisfying the wishes of investors.
