Buying Restricted Properties in Switzerland

As a culture the Swiss tend to be a conservative people, this is not a negative issue it just is! As such foriegn investment has always been an issue, additionally, years of experience has shown that foriegn investment in the Swiss market can have a negative impact. The trend in recent years has been to restrict foriegn direct ownership in Swiss properties to mitigate the negative impact seen and the over use of foriegn investment or capital in commercial properties.

Additional issues due to a very independant Cantonal system can lead to complications, confusion and in the end the denial to foriegn capital within the market. Does this mean that the use of foriegn capital within the Swiss market maybe excluded or that those who desire to invest within this lucritive and "stable" market? the answer is a simple and resounding NO!! so how is this done? I work with clients who desire to invest in this fantastic opportunity all the time. We accomplish this through several methods, the most important is the key knowledge and understanding involved within the Swiss market. Understanding how each of the Cantons work, the demands placed on investors, restrictions, and those unique issues to each one are often confusing for the outside investor and some leave thier ideas behind because of the complex issues involved.

I have spent a considerable amount of time researching, understanding, and learning about these issues, In addition, I became a Swiss citizen, founded a Swiss firm and operate with Swiss nationl partners which ensure we are a Swiss organization. this in turn, provides an opportunity to invest in a solid organization and/or properties obeying the current and future regulations which would eliminate the average investor from future transactions. I am also able to deal with some of the most complex transactions due to my professional background dealing with litigation cases, large and mixed commercial projects and my own international background. Currently, my firm and partners have access to properties ranging from 1 million francs to over 500 million in value. In total, we have access to well over 1 Billion in assets.

The next question I often get is one of foreign investment being limited to those of certian regions, ethnicities due to current geo-political issues. My answer is again a resounding NO! to limitiations. As long as we can verify how the funds come to us, prefereably working with a bank that has a presence in Switzerland we can assist.
