Advisor Alignment
Growing concerns about U.S. domestic politics and government policies have many American investors looking beyond domestic borders for asset protection. One increasingly popular solution is international custody. Through our established partnership with Bank Vontobel in Switzerland, New Capital clients can open a Swiss bank account from the U.S. or abroad, even as non-residents. Switzerland’s long-standing reputation for financial stability, privacy, and security makes it a top choice for global custody.
Available to U.S. Clients Since 2022
New Capital was among the first to bring this platform to eligible U.S. investors when Vontobel expanded services to American clients through the acquisition of UBS Swiss Financial Advisers.
