In Switzerland, the Custodian banking system is built on traditional Swiss values. The traditional Swiss custodian banks normally offer three services, private and institutional wealth management and custody. Unlike their US counterparts they are not involved in proprietary trading, loans of any kind or lead in M&A deals, all of the things which helped bring the US banking system to its knees ten years ago. When choosing a custodian bank it is important to look at their underlying risks and historic performance.
If you are looking for stability, asset protection and wealth preservation, Swiss banks can be a great solution.
