in my consultant I find someone who listens, considers and offer options all with a quiet and thoughtful approach. I also appreciate the Swiss FINMA licence held by Swissential.

As an expat based in Switzerland I’m frequently receiving unsolicted calls from financial advisors who want to talk to me about my pension, my retirement plans etc. I tell them I’m in safe hands and have no need of their service. Why? Because I’m delighted with the level of advice provided by Swissential, and, unlike many advisors who I’ve worked with since moving here, my Swissential adviser is the first to actually sit down and explain things holistically. I am delighted with advice and support received to date.

I was a client of Swissential for quite sometime and during that period they have always been responsive to all my requests and questions. Ma adviser was the contact person of both my and my wife’s 2nd Pillar accounts. I would most definitely recommend them.

He provides excellent service which includes comprehensive information on Swiss tax and retirement systems, financial systems, and investments. I would highly recommend Swissential as a company to anyone – especially people just arriving in Switzerland.

My consultant’s approach:
– Listen patiently all your questions (or ask you the right questions if you are completely clueless about how to improve your financial life)
– Figure out issues and/or contradictions in your strategy to reach financial goals (or explaining you why you should have a strategy and financial goals)
– Explain in details pro and cons of different solutions
– Give you time to figure out what fits better to you (without being pushy)
– Repeat the process (if needed)
If you like the idea to go through this “path” be in touch with Swissential.

I learned a lot from these guys and certainly feel well advised. You can tell they actually care instead of just trying to sell you something. Very happy with the way I was dealt with and would recommend to others seeking to improve their set up in Switzerland.

Swissential really helped me to understand different pension and investment options. They also shared potential benefits that I might enjoy on tax management. I strongly suggest new-movers to Switzerland to get into touch with them and learn essentials of Swiss finance- pretty helpful.

Do not hesitate to ask to connect with anyone from Swissential for any support you will need, their deep knowledge on all the financial topics, pension plans etc and their clear communication skills are part of their top competencies that will help you enjoy connecting with them.

I highly recommend Swissential as financial advisors. Rarely you come across someone who is talented at both big picture solutions and individual details — my advisor is just that person. Listening and communication skills made me comfortable since the first minute I’ve talked with Swissential, making our time effective.

Highly recommend my Swissential advisor who managed to explain very clearly and provide insightful guidance into the Swiss tax and social security optimisation possibilities which are not always easy to grasp for expats living in Switzerland. They made it simple and pragmatical which is highly valuable. He took the time and he is dedicated to provide a quality service.

I have been contacted by Swissential to help me organize my finances. The call was very clear and all my doubts were clarified. I even reached out to them on a different (but related) topic and they quickly gave me their input. I will definitely recommend them.

Swissential is fortunate to have dynamic employees who are totally dedicated to their customers – looking for the best solution – they have allowed me to understand a lot about the Swiss system and to benefit from it

I am pleased to be able to provide a reference for Swissential based out of Nyon in Switzerland.

Having decided to take early retirement and discovering that my company pension would be based on a UK pension topped up by a pension from the parent company in Switzerland, it was unclear to me how best to proceed and so I made contact with Swissential to help me in understanding my options. Following a detailed assessment of tax liabilities and my future financial needs, my wife and I decided to transfer the accrued UK pension fund and invest the capital in our own personal pension trust. This decision caused a problem with the parent company and Swissential helped me formulate a case to challenge my employers stance on how my UK pension transfer value offset pension accrued during the years of employment as a centre based expat. Following an extensive period of negotiations the parent company conceded to my request to also pay an annual pension income for the period I was employed on a centre based expat contract.

In addition, and based on their knowledge of the UK government pension regulations, my consultant helped me to offset tax liabilities by seeking derogation on the Lifetime allowance (LTA). A service which should have been offered by the UK arm of the parent company.

Since making initial contact with Swissential I found a high level of professionalism being offered by the team, and at no stage did I feel under pressure to take any specific decision. My wife and I appreciated the professional and friendly advice offered to us. The facts were presented in a clear and detailed manner, which allowed us to understand our future needs, liabilities and long term risks.

Without the service offered to us by Swissential I would have been left with accepting a default position of the company to pay a UK pension with a top up from the parent company.

For anyone in a similar situation to us, I would strongly recommend that you take up the option of the advice being offered by Swissential that will allow you to make the most appropriate decision that is best for you.

Breath of fresh air working with an efficient and conscientious company.

I had a consultation with Swissential to discuss my imminent retirement plans. Swissential consultant was extremely professional, presented clear and understandable recommendations based upon analysis of my needs. His recommendations enabled me to save money and reduce risk in my portfolio. I recommend Swissential.
In addition, they have people who specialise in clients approaching retirement and has colleagues who can support clients earlier in their career, which enables more appropriate advice to be given.

Our consultant helped us, clarifying my information, answering many questions as well as structuring an approach to invest current savings in the long period. Always with the help of figures, he showed us many possible scenarios. Last but not least, his clarity of expression and availability strengthen our cooperation.

My Consultant has a complete understanding of the Swiss taxation, financial and pension system and shares his knowledge with great clarity and enthusiasm.

I recently moved to Switzerland and had the pleasure of speaking with my advisor to receive his consultancy.
Thanks to his financial competence, to his knowledge of international regulations and, last but not least, to his personal empathy, I got immediately the point and I’m sure I am making the right choices for my future.

I had the opportunity and the privilege to be advised by Swissential adviser for my financial and retirement plan. Their level of professionalism and competence in these domains is exceptional, to say the least. They take the time to listen to the client, analyze the requirements and then come up with a series of options. What makes the difference between my adviser and many other advisers is that they look at the option that fits best for you, not for them.

I unquestionably recommend Swissential for any inquiries you might have on your financial or retirement plans.
