Forum on Investment and Asset Protection in Switzerland September 6th

The Wealth Forums is proud to present the Swiss Wealth Forum, Saturday, September 6th, in Lugano, Switzerland. Workshops will run from 1:30pm-7pm.

​The constantly evolving global business environment forces entrepreneurs, investors and finance professionals to be especially careful in looking for new and better solutions to develop and protect their own businesses and the interests of their global clientele. Switzerland has long been known to the finance industry as the ultimate location for risk-free investments and asset protection.

The Swiss Wealth Forum will feature renowned experts in the Swiss finance industry who will provide up-to-date information on wealth and asset protection, smart investment and investment citizenship. The workshop series is designed for wealthy and super-wealthy individuals, wealth managers, private managers, tax planners, immigration lawyers/consultants and real estate investment consultants.

The cost is 430 CHF (Swiss Francs), the equivalent of approximately $450 USD. The forum is intended to be a small time and money investment that will bring much larger returns in both profits and savings for attendees and their clients. For consultants, this means higher competence and higher fees.

To purchase your ticket, please contact Marina Savicka at marina@thewealthforums.com or call +371 2787 8704. You can also use the online registration form at their website, www.thewealthforums.com, in the Upcoming Forums section.
