Today we published our first study highlighting the vital role of Single Family Offices (SFO) for Switzerland's Economy. The study by the University of St. Gallen KMU-HSG | Institut für KMU und Unternehmertum reveals SFOs as key players in managing and succeeding family businesses, driving significant economic growth in Switzerland. With a net asset value of approximately CHF 600 billion, SFOs are an institutional pillar for multi-generational family businesses. Conducted between November and December 2023, the survey marks the first systematic recording of SFO activities and investments in Switzerland. This study is instrumental for our discussion to find ways how to enhance Switzerland’s attractiveness for SFOs. Remarkable: Majority of SFOs are open to licensing for ensuring minimum standards which help promoting our market. Thanks go to Michael Viana Gabriele Schmidt Markus Schmid Lukas Winderl Kurt Moosmann & Felix Xaver Oeschger for their contributions.

SFOA returned to Lausanne for its 2024 Annual Membership Meeting. After a private tour of the remarkable EHL Hospitality Business School campus, we enjoyed a delightful pre-event dinner and listened to Carole A., President of the Board of Trustees of the EHL Foundation and Chairwoman of EHL Group, who gave a captivating speech on how the school maintains its long history, while continuing to extend its excellence well beyond hospitality. During our formal meeting, we welcomed new members to the SFOA-family and used the invaluable sessions to share insights, experiences and knowledge. Above all, we were able to table the first comprehensive survey (jointly by SFOA/HSG/UBS) on the Swiss Single Family Office Landscape, which will be officially presented to the public on June 4, 2024. Thereafter, Stephan Hostettler set-out the guidelines for the new benchmarking survey on C-Level compensation in Swiss Single Family Offices, the results thereof will be displayed at our upcoming Fall event. Besides the workshops on cyber security, IPO as a valid exit strategy for family businesses, and strategic asset allocation, we learned from Wolfgang Zürcher about the personal liabilities of Board Members. Filippo Noseda shared his insights on the newest developments regarding BO Registers and the 6th AML Directive. As our Lausanne meeting took place against the complex backdrop of tense geopolitical and geoeconomic challenges, it was most interesting to hear Elbridge Colby's views on the Sino-U.S. structural rivalry, as well as to learn about his perspectives on the Ukraine war and Middle Eastern crisis. Last, but not least, we welcomed our academic partner Peter Vogel, IMD, to announce the SFOA/IMD family office executive diploma which is planned to commence in 2025, and aims at establishing a new global gold standard in family officer training and certification. As SFOA - Swiss Single Family Office Association continues welcoming new members to the association, it aims at protecting, preserving and promoting the Swiss single family office landscape.

Continuing to build the future framework for Swiss Single Family Offices: another inspiring and compelling SFOA conference at The Chedi Andermatt #TheChediAndermatt
The Autumn SFOA Meeting in Andermatt 25./26. October 2023 The Chedi nestled amidst the picturesque surroundings of Andermatt set the stage for the Swiss Family Office Association's (SFOA) meeting on the 25th and 26th of October, 2023. The meeting commenced with a fireside chat with Sami Sawiris, the illustrious founder of Orascom Development. With a blend of subtle wit and profound wisdom, Sawiris painted a vivid picture of his journey, eloquently sharing the founding tales of El Gouna and the interesting narrative behind The Chedi Andermatt. Dr. Kurt Moosmann opened the gathering on the second day, graciously welcoming new members into the SFOA fold, setting the tone for what promised to be an eventful day. The stage was then passed to Felix Xaver Oeschger, unveiling the anticipated SFOA study in partnership with the University of St. Gallen (HSG) and UBS. The study, a bottom-up survey within the Swiss Single Family Office industry, seeks to finally illuminate the often veiled value creation of this niche yet substantial market and its contribution to Switzerland’s economy. The Meeting continued with a Member’s presentation on the systematic analysis of its Impact investment approach, followed by three different workshops ranging from the impact of the current crises in the Middle East to portfolio and consolidation software and the ever-critical topic of cybersecurity for Single Family Offices. The valuable findings and insights from these workshops were later shared with the collective. The innovation carousel kept spinning. Widmann Samuel, a crucial contributor to the success of Google Maps, unfolded the triumphs of mapping the world, painting a vision of AI's growth potential and graciously fielding audience questions. Pascale Bruderer then guided the audience through the concept of the Swiss Stable Coin - the Swisscoin - an intriguing blockchain alternative to Switzerland’s hard currency. The audacity and innovation of such a concept has raised many interests, scrutiny and questions that were discussed at the end of Mrs. Bruderer's session. The day didn’t just buzz with technological innovation but also spoke of the human touch. Dr. Kurt Moosmann captivated the audience with the story of his close collaboration with the famous jewelry designer Elsa Peretti and the development of the Elsa Peretti Group since her passing, followed by its CEO Pascal Weber, who shared a brief outline of the transition process, and by its CIO Dominik Christoph Müller, who shared their distinctive asset management approach. And what better way to conclude such a day of intellectual exhilaration than a dinner at The Chedi, where discussions mingled with the sumptuous delights of the palate.
