Put not your trust in money, but put your money in trust. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809-1894)
Welcome to the One and Only website dedicated to the trust in Switzerland! With more than one third of the world’s total assets in management, Switzerland can hardly be discounted in the area of trusts. Yet, there are no Swiss trusts, because Switzerland is a civil-law country and thus ignores the common-law distinction between legal and equitable ownership. My website aims to shed the light on trusts in Switzerland.
