Key Highlights
Switzerland remains one of the largest offshore centers globally, but recent developments in tax co-operation have eroded its reputation as a safe haven and decreased its share of the non-resident market.

Similar to many other mature financial markets, Switzerland has a balanced allocation outside of deposits. In recent years the strong performance of the Swiss Market Index has supported growth in mutual funds and equities.

At the end of 2014, of the 6.5 million adult individuals living in Switzerland an estimated 76.2% could be considered affluent. The country has by far the highest levels of affluent and HNW individuals among “sizable” economies.
