Other financial services providers
In recent years, the other financial services providers have been the fastest growing segment of the Zurich financial centre.The Zurich financial centre, or that is to say, the Swiss financial centre consists not only of financial services providers in the strict sense, such as banks and insurance companies, but is complemented by a host of experienced specialists, known under the umbrella term of ‘other financial services providers’. They have been the fastest growing segment of the financial centre in recent years.
Specialists complement the comprehensive range of the financial centre
The other financial services providers -such as hedge funds, private equity companies, venture capital providers, family offices and other providers of alternative investments- offer services that go beyond the traditional choice of products and services provided by banks and insurance companies. These companies top off the range of products of the financial centre in a meaningful way. Many providers have settled in or near Zurich from where they serve a growing number of customers from Switzerland and abroad.
Availability of highly multifaceted know-how
The products and services on offer by the other financial services providers are varied and numerous. Therefore, they are difficult to present in overview fashion. Many providers are organised in professional associations.
