The Swiss Life Group has launched Swiss Life Wealth Managers in Zurich to offer private clients advisory and individual asset management services.
The newly-established operation will allows private clients to benefit directly from its asset management arm Swiss Life Asset Managers.
The services offered by Swiss Life Wealth Managers include asset management, financial planning, tax and retirement.
The office in Zurich will be the first of many as the firm looks to expand its offering to other regions in Switzerland in the coming years. The firm said that there will “shortly be a second location in Winterthur”.
