Switzerland and the subject of Swiss banking have evolved over the past few decades, but the legendary ability of Swiss banks to attract incredible sums of money from all over the globe has only increased over time, strengthening this little country's position in the world. Why? Because Switzerland has remained independent in the face of global geo- politics, including pressures from the European Union to join them and pressures from the United States to abolish their Banking Secrecy Act. Switzerland intends to remain free from such insanity and to hold its own in the face of outside demands. This book, then, is not only about Switzerland and Swiss banking, but it is also about a bigger picture of where Switzerland stands today within the current context of world events-and how this unique country can avail itself to you for your benefit. Written by a renowned specialist in tax havens and offshore banking, Secrets of Swiss Banking reveals a way for you to safely and legally hide your money and protect your assets, all the while quietly building your retirement funds and personal fortune without the need for complicated financial planning.
