Product Universe

Financial Products are investment products whose repayment value derives from the development of one or several underlying assets. They are created by wrapping together in a security format traditional investments, such as bond or deposits, with financial derivatives.

A suitable product can be created for virtually every derivative strategy, market expectation (growing, sideways-moving, sinking) and risk profile (conservative, balanced, aggressive).
Most widely used are products with full or partial capital protection, as well as those with optimum risk-yield ratios.

Legally, structured products are obligations whose repayment is guaranteed by the issuer, making the credit rating of the debtor (issuer) one of the very important risk indicators.

Investment Approach

Our only objective is to deliver the right product which corresponds to the client's needs

Delivering the right pricing

Our staffs are hands-on to provide real-time information as often as required.

Values

FPWC SA has three core values which drive its day to day approach to business.

Entrepreneurship

We are entrepreneurial. Driven by intuition, we embrace new opportunities and aim to get things done. We value bold thinking and allow turning new ideas into great execution.

We take calculated risks, balancing needs of the business with needs of people. Our team is insightful, ingenious and resourceful.

Independence

Money matters are very personal. Being totally independent and free of conflicts of interest, our team identifies strongly with each client's uniqueness.

Dissociating from increasing standardization among investment management professionals, we aim to offer our clients with innovative and tailor made investment solutions, as opposed to push-sales to satisfy third party's interest.

Excellence

We deliver what we promise-and add value that goes beyond what is expected. We surpass others through sustained performance and superior thinking.

But Excellence also goes with trust, and our team provides services with the very highest standards of operational and regulatory efficiency and integrity.

Geneva's emblem

Offices

FPWC SA has its headquarters in the largest private banking hub for Europe: Geneva, Switzerland.

Effectiveness and efficiency combined with banker's discretion have forged Geneva's worldwide reputation.

While Switzerland as a whole manages 28% of the world's private offshore assets, Geneva is the birthplace and capital of international asset management. It is a benchmark of excellence for other financial centres. The success of the term of "private banking" underlines the fact that the criteria of quality that are applied to Geneva, where private banking was born 200 years ago, represent a world reference for the profession.

Geneva is where the two largest Swiss banks, the top fund managers in Europe, look after their largest assets. It is also in Geneva that an increasing number of foreign banks are now concentrating their international asset management teams. There are around 60 foreign-controlled banks in Geneva today.

This cross-fertilization is responsible for its dynamic financial activity, further stimulated by hundreds of finance companies, independent asset managers, and asset management departments of large foreign fiduciaries and brokers.
