Financial, foundation and succession planning

Financial, foundation and succession planning

We support our clients in all life and business situations. In Private & Corporate Banking, we offer forward-looking and sound advice on foundation and succession planning, among other things.

Thinking wealth one step ahead

Financial solutions for all life and business situations

We advise private and corporate clients with a holistic approach in all financial and liquidity matters. This implies that, at the request of our clients, we conduct discussions with all shareholders, their spouses and children. We then work out measures that the shareholder could implement in order to realize this structure within the framework of company law and tax guidelines, e.g. with a view to succession planning. As far as desired, we accompany the contractual arrangement of the found structure together with established tax advisors and lawyers. We advise private individuals on the establishment and structuring of foundations and on the execution of wills.

"We have noticed for years that the demand for sustainable investments is increasing. Clients are now investing for a purpose and looking beyond return on investment. Thus, investment purpose underscores the reasons why people invest - including the personal desire to do good and leave a meaningful personal legacy. This, of course, includes topics such as succession and foundation advice, in which our bank is particularly specialized."

From foundation consulting to growth and committee work

Foundation planning

Foundations have taken on an increasingly important role in recent years, not only in private asset succession, but also in the context of corporate succession. The reasons for setting up a foundation are very diverse - as are our clients. Some wish to have a foundation as an heir or they wish to preserve their own company. Perhaps they also want to protect their family. All of these are fundamental motives of a potential founder. Quite often, they also want certain interests to be consistently realized on the basis of their own convictions and values. Foundations are ideal if you want to give your own charitable, benevolent or ecclesiastical commitment a professional framework. For founders, setting up a foundation it is therefore a special decision that will have an impact for generations to come. We will be pleased to assist you in making this decision wisely - from founding advice and support during the growth phase to assistance with committee work.

Why it makes sense

Execution of wills

By will, you can appoint an executor who is obliged to follow up your wishes. This can also make sense in some cases as part of holistic succession planning. There are situations in which an executor is advisable, such as in the case of minor heirs or in the case of anticipated disputes due to the inheritance arrangement. We support you with your questions and implementation around a possible execution of a will.
