Description

XXXX represents a rare opportunity to acquire a "vintage" Swiss para-banking institution with an uninterrupted operational history dating back to its incorporation on March 10, 1936, in Zug, Switzerland. As a longstanding participant in the Swiss financial landscape, the firm maintains a clean record with no liabilities, underscoring nearly a century of resilience and continuity.

Unique Hybrid Structure

The entity operates under a dual-nature framework that offers significant advantages for High Net Worth Individuals, Family Offices, and international investors. It combines the fiduciary oversight of a trust with the operational capacity of a standard business.

Licensing Authority

The company is affiliated with SO-FIT (Geneva), a Swiss Self-Regulatory Organization (SRO) recognized under the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA).

Independent Oversight

Regulatory supervision is provided by FINMA-approved bodies, with current auditing performed by SGAC SA.

Audit History

The firm holds a clean 2024 SO-FIT audit, confirming low-volume activity with zero risk and ongoing compliance.
