The Investor – The Custodian Bank – The Asset Manager

Over the last 50 years, independent asset management companies have emerged in the global financial marketplace.

Independent asset managers are playing a new major role as intermediaries between the banks and the investor on a private and institutional level.

Hyposwiss Advisors SA, as private wealth manager, brings a high standard of professional expertise enhanced by its long-standing Swiss private banking roots.

The result is a triangle: the traditional symbol of energy, productivity and creativity.

• The Bank: The Investor’s assets are on deposit with international qualified custodian banks.
