TOPIC
WHAT TO DO WHEN THE KIDS MOVE TO AMERICA?
PRACTICAL AND REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS FOR ADVISING GLOBAL FAMILIES WHEN THEY ACQUIRE A US NEXUS
Switzerland has advised global families for generations through momentous shifts in financial and tax regulation. Our “new normal” has imposed complex cross-border rules that make financial strategy a multi-dimensional challenge.  Adding a US nexus is just another requirement that should be studied, analyzed and factored into good service.  This will be a banker’s point of view on how to prepare and implement financial advice that serves clients’ best long-term interests.
