UNIQUE SELLING POINTS:

Historically, this firm used to provide their services face to face, which primarily restricted their consultants to the French-Speaking part of Switzerland. For several years now, they have been successfully using their Online Client Portal and the latest Online Meeting Technology to provide their services and financial tools online. This way, no more time wasted on transport – their Swiss qualified advisers spend their time where it is the most valued – providing consumers a service.

Prestige IFA Jobs had the privilege to be taken on a tour of their online back-office “briefcase” system, and it’s a very unique and efficient program that we highly recommend.

Please note: This position would typically suit experienced and qualified investment advisory candidates already living and working (but not limited to) in Switzerland. A minimum of 3 years experience working in the wealth management business is preferred. This position is NOT for someone from the accounting/auditing or financial management profession. This is a client-facing, sales and targets driven profession.
