§ I   Mandate

Amane guides high-net-worth families through every dimension of relocating to Switzerland — from the earliest question of where and how, through location and property, tax structuring, legal setup, and the full logistics of a new life. Whether establishing a principal residence, or securing a second home as a place of calm and continuity, one point of contact handles everything. End to end.

§ III   Approach

A quieter kind of advisory.

Three principles that define the engagement and the manner in which it is delivered.

i.
One relationship — not a directory of service providers.
ii.
Built on twenty years of cross-border advisory experience and a deeply rooted Swiss network.
iii.
Every engagement is bespoke. No standard packages. No volume targets.

Discretion is not a feature of the work. It is the condition under which the work is possible.

§ IV

Why Switzerland. Eight reasons that make Switzerland not simply a destination, but a durable architecture for a private life. Considered in quiet detail.

01  — Location
At the heart of Europe.
Four hours from any major European capital. Equidistant from London, Paris, Milan, and Frankfurt.
02  — Connectivity
Three international airports.
One of the world's most reliable rail networks. Direct motorway access across borders in every direction.
St. Moritz — winter
03  — Stability
A direct democracy, unbroken.
175 years of uninterrupted neutrality. No military alliances. No political turbulence.
04  — Safety
Among the safest, consistently.
Low crime, high institutional trust, and a discreet public culture that rarely comments on its own.
05  — Fiscal
Cantonal competition.
Lump-sum taxation for qualifying residents. No inheritance tax in most cantons.
Private estate — Genevan lakeside
06  — Privacy
A legal, lived tradition.
Privacy that extends from banking and data protection to the unwritten etiquette of daily life.
07  — Quality of Life
World-class, at low volume.
Healthcare, international schools, clean infrastructure, and a natural environment of rare quality.
08  — Currency
The franc, still.
One of the most stable reserve currencies globally. Low inflation, strong institutions, long memory.
