ZÜRICH – Volatility. Inflation. Compressed yields. If your portfolio feels hostage to the whims of the public market, you’re not alone. For Switzerland’s accredited investors and family offices, the traditional 60/40 portfolio is no longer suitable.

The strategic response is a decisive shift towards direct, private capital solutions. This is the realm of bespoke private debt, selective equity co-investments, and structured finance. In this world, sophisticated capital is deployed directly into compelling opportunities, bypassing public market noise, and generating consistent, high-single-digit yields.

Think of it as moving from a crowded trading floor to a precision engineering lab. In Zurich’s private market labs, financial innovation is about building tailored capital solutions that match your exact specifications for risk, return, and impact.

Your Capital, Deployed with Purpose

For the accredited investor, this means moving beyond products and into partnerships. Key strategies include:

• Direct Private Credit: Become the bank. Lend to established Swiss companies with strong fundamentals and real assets, earning attractive interest with senior secured protection.
• Equity Co-Investments: Partner with top-tier private equity firms on specific deals. These slashes fee overhead and give you direct ownership in a targeted asset.
• Venture Debt Financing: Provide growth capital to innovative startups, earning current income through interest while gaining optionality via warrants.
• Real Asset Backing: Anchor your investments in tangible collateral—real estate, infrastructure, equipment—for inherent stability and an inflation hedge.

The Zurich Difference: Where Capital Meets Craft

Zurich’s ecosystem is unique. It’s where deep pools of private wealth meet the world-class expertise needed to structure it responsibly. This isn’t the Wild West; it’s a disciplined environment governed by FINMA principles and a deep-seated respect for capital preservation.

The goal isn’t just yield enhancement; it’s alpha generation through access and intelligence. The best deals are never listed. They are accessed through relationships with elite advisors who have the operational expertise to diligence and structure them correctly.

Your Next Move: Command and Control

Passive investing has its place. But for the core of your wealth, an active, strategic approach is paramount. This requires a guide who speaks the language of direct deals and complex structuring.
