An Interview with Mark Dietrich and Ciaran McNamee

In their recent interview with David Bell at PCD Group, Mark Dietrich and Ciaran McNamee from our Geneva and Zurich private client teams share why Switzerland is increasingly the jurisdiction of choice for high-net-worth individuals and families, including:

• Swiss Trustee Services: Switzerland has become a leading hub for trust administration, now regulated by FINMA.
• Swiss Trustee vs. Swiss Trust: While there’s no "Swiss Trust" law, trusts are managed under foreign legal frameworks, providing flexibility.
• Why Switzerland? Clients are drawn to Switzerland for its stability and strong network of trusted advisors.
• Global Client Base: Switzerland’s trust services attract clients from Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia, among other regions.
• Common Trust Assets: Swiss trusts typically manage diverse assets including bankable assets, real estate and fine art to name but a few.
