These advisors continue to suggest SFA to their customers who want to diversify their assets overseas and thereby offer customised investments in Switzerland.
The business developer’s key duty is to uphold and broaden the partnership with UBS financial advisers, keep them updated about the Vontobel SFA offering, and consistently offer guidance and support.
Under Schurtenberger’s leadership, the team, which already has workers in Zurich, New York, and Miami, will grow to about 10 professionals over the coming years.
Peter Romanzina, CEO, Vontobel SFA said: “With this strategy, we want to enable the client relationship managers in the US and in Switzerland to focus fully on their clients, while at the same time continuing to expand the cooperation with UBS advisors in the US step by step with the right people.”
