Services

Investment management
Portfolios are designed to reflect the client’s agreed objectives and acceptable level of risk. Ongoing oversight keeps the allocation appropriate as circumstances or market conditions change.

Retirement planning
Income sustainability analysis informs withdrawal timing and pension consolidation decisions. Stress testing is applied to assess the effect of adverse market periods.

Tax-aware strategy
We coordinate closely with external tax advisers and provide planning inputs for international and cross-border situations.
Affiliates
For trust, legal and tax matters, we coordinate with independent specialists.
Case Studies
(01)
The Cross-Channel Puzzle
A senior executive in his 50s moved from London to Geneva. He arrived with several UK pensions alongside stock awards and multi‑currency investment accounts.
( Challenge )
The move created uncertainty around tax residency, cashflow and currency exposure. Holdings were scattered, and there was no single plan for the first years in Switzerland.
( Almand Group approach )
Mapped three years of income against bonuses and expenses.
Grouped assets by purpose (liquidity versus long‑term retirement).
Coordinated with his tax adviser on transfer sequencing.
Reduced unintended sterling bias in portfolios.
( Outcome
)
He received a clear transition roadmap. It showed which accounts to use and when. Regular reviews now fit his work calendar. This cuts admin while supporting faster decisions.
(02)
The Day After the Deal
A technology founder sold a major stake in a private company, creating a large cash position across several banks.
( Challenge )
She needed to secure her lifestyle while continuing to support her family. Retaining capital for selective private deals was also priority. She wanted to avoid rushing into long‑term commitments.
( Almand Group approach )
Tested scenarios for spending against tax and family commitments.
Split proceeds into a core portfolio plus a liquidity pool.
Added an opportunity pool for private investments.
Phased investment of core capital to manage timing risk.
( Outcome
)
Her wealth is now organised into clear segments with defined roles. She can fund life and help family. She pursues new ventures while keeping guardrails around risk.
