Whether you seek to create wealth or to protect what you have, we see our clients as being partners with us at the centre of the hub of a specialist financial network. Our purpose is to service the complex personal financial needs of private investors. From the outset, we work with you to develop a clear understanding of your own particular goals and needs.

Life today moves too fast for most people to allow them the time to understand the complexities of the financial world and to keep pace with life changes and market conditions, let alone to act at the right time and in the right way when opportunities arise.But it isn’t enough just to keep up with the markets. Success comes from diversification and from flexible investment. Smart investment depends on asset diversification: spreading your investments by asset class, by sector, by geographic location. The range is infinite, from the bond markets of the Far East to the stock exchanges of Eastern Europe, from hot UK IPOs to hedge funds that have never lost, from tax-efficient Swiss bank accounts to Isle of Man insurance contracts, from investment property deals in Spain to mortgages in Croatia, from European blue chips to Chinese nanotechnology, from trust arrangements in Liechtenstein to Panama Foundations, from special commodity investments to an exclusive US private equity fund that has returned 26% for the last 15 years (doubling your investment every 3 years!)

It also requires speed: the understanding to know when action is required and the intelligence to know precisely what action to take. And the courage (borne from skill and experience) to know exactly the right time to act. Tomorrow may be too late.By outsourcing our specialist expertise we can provide our clients with access to our solid network of trusted AAA -rated experts in the finest private banks, asset management houses, brokerages, law firms, tax advisers and real estate companies. These experts include companies such as UBS, Credit Suisse, Bank Leu, Deutsche Bank, Rising Star, American Express, Zurich Financial, Swiss Capital, Independent Financial Partners and Private Client Banks. We provide maximum protection and growth for your assets and employ the most sophisticated investment strategies and the most powerful offshore instruments to develop investment plans tailored to your specific requirements.

You can be sure that we will find suitable solutions to meet your particular needs.

MAKING IT HAPPEN

The opportunities are endless.

Location, location, location

A fundamental advantage of working with Helvetia Wealth is simply geographical. We are based in Zurich, the financial centre of one of the most important financial markets in the world.Switzerland has of course long been renowned as an offshore financial centre that promotes and guarantees no (or low) taxes for foreigners who do business there. This has secured its reputation as a safeguard from unnecessary taxes, lawsuits, currency devaluation and market fluctuations.

Privacy

As well as being an asset stronghold with special legislation and a judicial system that provides strong protection for your assets, Switzerland also provides a high degree of personal privacy. Under Swiss law, only the financial information you choose to disclose may be accessed by commercial or governmental agencies.

The sky’s the limit

Working with HW provides unlimited potential. You are not restricted in any way just because we are a smaller operation than some. The reverse is true. Our structure enables you to have access to the ‘best of class’ products around the world.

INDISPENSIBLE SERVICEThere are many reasons to choose Helvetia Wealth as your partner in wealth creation. Peoples’ priorities differ, which is why we provide a service tailored to our clients’ individual needs.

Your money, your life

Unlike most banks, we work with you to build your own individual portfolio tailored to meet your particular needs. Most banks are too large and unwieldy in operation to be able to do anything other than pigeonhole their ‘customers’ by summarising their needs within sweeping generalisations. We create bespoke portfolios designed around what YOU need and want.

Quick, quick, go

As we are not a large institution we don’t have to trade like a large institution. Instead, we have the agility to move quickly as and where necessary. Unlike cumbersome banks, we can move rapidly to exploit opportunities, to maximise advantages for our clients.

Flexibility

Because we are unique in the way we outsource our operations, we have the flexibility to select individual opportunities far more imaginatively than big banks can ever do. This allows us the independence to choose any product. In turn, this means you have a flexible platform that allows you to take control of your portfolio.

Knowledge is key

Watched by an estimated 360 million people worldwide, Helvetia Wealth appears on CNBC each week. Our network of experts provides our customers with unprecedented access to many trusted business connections. You can benefit directly from our relationships with people of such a wide range of skills, knowledge and experience.

Helping you to manage your life

Our services cover a far broader scope than just investment advice. We are qualified to advise you on asset protection, financial privacy, offshore living, retirement planning, tax management and many other aspects that affect your daily life and your long-term future.

low minimum entry

Unlike many financial organisations, we value all our customers, however much they choose to invest. We’re aware that if we serve you well, you are more than likely to continue working with us. Although most of our individual customers do ask us to help manage funds of around CHF250,000 or more (and family office services typically over CHF10M) there is no strict limit on the minimum amount of funds you must invest.

Page 7: Helvetia Wealth brochure

We believe that no one can advise anyone properly unless they really understand their particular circumstances, their needs and their objectives. This is why we promise absolute confidentiality. From that comes your trust, which we hold as our most valued commodity. You can be sure that we will always respect and protect your privacy.

At the very beginning of our relationship, we will work with you to understand your requirements, based on factors such as your age, health, temperament, investment experience, personal preferences, individual circumstances and family situation.

Naturally, you may choose the extent of the service you require, but we can offer complete financial support if you wish, for individual or family office services. This might include investment advice and asset protection, financial privacy, offshore living, retirement, tax management and succession planning. You will have your own Private Banking Advisor (PBA) who will be your personal investment adviser, responsible for the day-to-day management of the individual portfolio designed to suit your own investment requirements. After all, apart from the skills of our advisers, and the experts they consult, one of the benefits of using our services is so that you don’t have to spend time deci-phering the labyrinth of financial markets, to monitor every nuance of change that may have an effect on your investments. That’s what we do, to make your life simpler.

WORKING THE WAY YOU CHOOSE

12

Apart from trust, we see service excellence as another key factor in our offer to you. We simply aim to be the best in everything: the best service provider, business partner and wealth manager. You will have round-the-clock access to information about your investments — either online (via secure links, of course) or through personal contact. Each month (or more frequently if you wish) we will discuss your portfolio, and every 6 months we will provide a formal review, to ensure that your investment strategy is performing as you expect.

Finally, if you require ancillary services to make your life easier, we are always happy to oblige. Whether you want help with booking hotels, with arranging transport or anything else — we are here to do whatever it takes to make your life easier. After all, with the wealth we shall generate for you, you can afford to take things easy.

“Most investors have individual goals that cannot be met by general retail advice and products. The requirements of every individual and family are different, so we work with a range of institutions to provide our clients with a tailored service. This kind of service was previously available only to the most exceptionally wealthy individuals, but now we are determined to offer it to more people. We can introduce our clients to the best lawyers and tax advisers, which can help with the establishment of foundations and trusts, as well as estate planning, using our global network of specialists.”

“We co-ordinate and pass on tailor-made knowledge, experience and competence to give the client’s wealth a coherent structure. We offer customers investment solutions and ideas, designed to maximise their personal wealth and help to achieve their financial goals.”
