SAFER ASSETS AND ANONYMITY

Bearer Shares are not governed by the same rules as regular shares because the owner is not on record. It is therefore extremely difficult, if not impossible, for a company’s information to then be discovered by an individual’s creditors. Any judgements must contain proof that the shareholder has a stake in the company. Judgements from outside of Switzerland generally end at the border, and a judgement on whether or not any action is against Swiss law must be decided in a Swiss court. Clients can consolidate family trusts and assets into one, singular location while making the company itself, not a director or trustee, responsible for any financial misgivings.

Real-World Example:

Imagine a wealthy Irish citizen is living in the United Kingdom while their wealth is distributed all around the world. Now say they express the following desires:

• Anonymity and protection for everything from gold to real estate
• Ability to manage that wealth into future generations
• Ability for the family to act as custodians for business interests
• Professional representation without giving total control to the trust’s manager

With the acquisition of a Swiss Trust Company, they would be able to:

• Receive unparalleled protection via Bearer Shares and anonymity
• Manage multiple accounts and family interests without the threat of losing any portion to domestic disputes
• Name their primary signatories and directors while benefiting from Swiss know-how and representation.
