Switzerland reconfirms its strong position in Wealth Management
Philippe Gelin, the co-founder and CEO of Shorex, pleased with the first Zurich Event said: "As a result of the global financial crisis, independent asset managers, private banks and fund managers had to be more rigorous and streamline their operations. The Shorex forum showed that the survivors are now stronger, and better equipped to provide value for money to their private clients. This is a very positive sign for the future of the industry and it also shows that Switzerland is keeping hold of its leading position in the wealth management market."
