LFA is a global investment specialist and one of the leading independent asset managers in Switzerland. We deliver wealth management, investment advisory, and private banking services exclusively to clients with U.S. income tax obligations, providing expertise in international asset and foreign currency management and access to a network of bespoke Swiss products and service providers.
By offering access to international markets and currency management, we can help you take advantage of opportunities available in markets outside the US and expand the scope of your portfolio diversification. International diversification can help reduce the impact volatility in turbulent U.S. markets can have on your portfolio. We take a moderate, tax and risk-aware approach to managing money. This is accomplished by leveraging our own expertise with the services offered by a global network of investment partners.
Licensed as a Portfolio Manager by FINMA, the Swiss Financial Markets Supervisory Authority.
Registered as an Investment Advisor with the SEC in the United States.
I started to work as a Senior Investment Advisor serving US clients in our Zurich and Lugano offices in 2014. Since 2018, I am serving clients as a relationship manager, and starting in 2023, I am serving as CEO, defining the company strategy and objectives, while serving my clients. In 2021, I became a board member of SRIAA, the Swiss Registered Investment Advisor Association. Also since 2021, I am a member of the LFG Executive Board. I have a Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Finance from the University of Lausanne and am a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA). I speak English, German, Italian, Spanish, and French. I travel to the US regularly.

Top 50 Independent Asset Managers
To be recognized among Citywire Switzerland's TOP 50, independent asset managers must either hold or be in the process of obtaining the new FINMA portfolio manager license. Additionally, they must operate independently from banks or other financial services providers, offer discretionary wealth management services to private clients, and maintain an open architecture approach to investment management, allowing them to choose external products and service providers freely. Citywire Switzerland then ranks the 50 firms with the largest assets under management in Switzerland and Liechtenstein, including assets under administration, advice, and control.
