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.
-
Swiss Private Trust Company: Unlike common law trusts, this is a corporate entity that can act as both trustee and beneficiary to manage and protect assets for stakeholders.
-
Stock Corporation (AG): Established as a Swiss stock corporation, it can engage in broad commercial activities under Swiss corporate law.
-
Privacy & Discretion: Ownership privacy is reinforced through confidential registered shares and the absence of a public shareholder register in Switzerland.
Regulatory Status & Compliance
Despite its age, XXXX is fully compliant with modern supervisory standards and maintains active regulatory status.
-
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.
