The Growing Importance of Unbiased Advice for Expats
Christopher Ellis, Senior Financial Planner, explains why impartial advice and tailored wealth strategies are vital for expats facing complex markets.
Whilst Switzerland remains a firm favourite with international workers, the changing landscape makes it harder for expats to plan for the future as effectively as in years gone by. So when your career takes you to Switzerland, sound international advice, independent choices and secure, confident decisions are required.
‘Having the right Financial Plan in place can make those difficult decisions a little easier.’
As you are living and working in Switzerland, it makes sense that your financial planner should be close by and understand the local challenges you may face when planning your finances. If you are planning on retiring overseas in Switzerland then it is always advisable to get your existing pension reviewed by one of our independent advisors who are on hand to offer you the advice and support that you need.
Established in Geneva, Skybound Wealth Management's Swiss office has grown over the last ten years and know the best ways for you to take advantage of the many benefits of living in the country. Whether it's by implementing offshore saving plans, transferring your UK pension or by setting up a Vested Benefit account.
Below is a brief overview of some of the core issues you will face while living and working in Switzerland. You should consider these when growing, protecting and planning for your financial future.
Different Cantons have different laws and regulations. Often many expats live in France and travel to work in Switzerland. Knowing the implications, benefits and pitfalls of cross-border advice is how Skybound Wealth Management has grown to be the largest and most recognised Financial Planning brand in the region.
