The opening of investment funds abroad is often of interest to those who already have a similar experience in other countries. Switzerland allows business people to start doing business on a completely different level, not only preserving but also increasing their capital. To achieve this goal, business owners often opt for this particular jurisdiction. Swiss funds are an excellent alternative to trusts — they allow for not only keeping assets but also increasing them.
Reliability, protection, and privacy of deposits are the key advantages of the jurisdiction. And although the Swiss investment fund registration procedure is somewhat complicated, the benefits that the business owner eventually receives fully outweigh this drawback.
How To
According to the country's legislation, there are several forms in which a fund can be registered. In particular, it can be:
The Swiss investment fund registration procedure implies the presence of an entry in the state register. Information about the board members, not about the beneficiaries, is included in it. If you plan to open a Swiss family foundation, no actions concerning the trade register will be required. Instead, only a special document confirming the creation of the fund is required.
If your Swiss investment fund participates in trading on the financial market, you should obligatorily open an account at a Swiss bank and keep accounting records.
A private investment fund Switzerland can only be founded if at least three physical or legal persons are members of its board of directors. At least one of them must be a Swiss resident.
Pay special attention to the process of amending the charter of the fund. If necessary, you can formalize changes only with the involvement of the local regulatory authority in this procedure.
Taxes are among the main advantages that make this jurisdiction attractive to business people. In Switzerland, there is no taxation on:
Inheritance is subject to a reduced rate.
The only thing you must pay in full is the 4.25% income tax.
If you plan to establish a fund in this jurisdiction, the initial capital must be at least CHF 50,000. The legal status is granted along with the formation of the articles of association.
Funds registered in this jurisdiction have certain privileges and opportunities that concern the judiciary. In particular, funds have the right to use Swiss courts, which are authoritative worldwide.
