Geneva, and more broadly, Switzerland, has all the features to create an attractive environment for asset management companies, especially for the most innovative and long-term oriented ones such as Arlas Capital. Switzerland offers a combination of excellent professionals, world class banking and financial services, political, social and economic stability and a regulated financial industry to ensure maximum security for investors.
Switzerland’s federal structures create strong links between government, business, and civil society. This multilingual country is situated in the heart of Europe, not just geographically but at the intersection of different cultures and is an important transport hub between north and south, east and west. Swiss law is relatively liberal and business-friendly.
Geneva and Zurich are two of the most important financial centers in the world – a success thanks to a stable framework. Switzerland is among the countries with the highest purchasing power in the world. Prices change so moderately that the Swiss franc has become one of the most sought-after currencies for reserve and diversification purposes. Switzerland’s federal tax system is a model of success, with taxes being set and levied by the federal government, cantons, and municipalities. The most attractive cantons in tax terms are international leaders in terms of both corporate taxes and the tax imposed on highly skilled workers.
Switzerland is home to some of the largest and most successful companies worldwide (Nestlé, Glencore, Givaudan, Novartis, Roche, ABB, Adecco, Syngenta) and hosts a myriad of smaller outstanding companies that are leaders in their field. Geneva and Zurich have direct connections to most European capitals and the largest financial centers worldwide.
Switzerland is also known for its capacity to gather, retain and nurture talent. Switzerland has some of the best business schools, universities and scientific & technical schools. The excellent living and working conditions that Switzerland offers explain why talents from all over the world are drawn here. The dense concentration of professional talent is also the result of the bilateral agreements with the European Union covering the free movement of persons.
Switzerland is a great country for entrepreneurs and families alike. People living and working in Switzerland are fortunate to have a high-quality social safety net. Both the public and private education systems are world class and crime rates are very low.
