Jurisdiction
Seven centuries of legal certainty.
The Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority regulates all financial intermediaries operating in Switzerland. FINMA's mandate is the protection of creditors, investors, and insured persons — and the proper functioning of financial markets. Operating within this framework is not a compliance checkbox. It is a structural commitment to counterparty integrity.
Switzerland has maintained constitutional neutrality since 1515. Through two world wars, multiple financial crises, and sustained geopolitical instability, the Swiss legal and financial framework has remained intact. This is not a marketing claim. It is a historical record.
Since 2017, Switzerland participates in the Automatic Exchange of Information. This represents a structural shift — not a diminishment of Switzerland's jurisdiction advantage. Banking secrecy as a tool for concealment no longer exists. Banking secrecy as a framework for legitimate privacy protection remains, and is codified in Swiss law.
Switzerland maintains bilateral tax treaties with over 100 jurisdictions. Double taxation agreements provide legal certainty for cross-border asset structures. The Swiss franc is not subject to capital controls. Swiss courts apply law with documented consistency. These are operational advantages — not aspirational ones.
TANNE structures client mandates as jurisdictionally isolated entities. No mandate shares infrastructure, counterparty relationships, or legal documentation with another. Isolation is architectural, not procedural. In the event of any legal or regulatory event affecting one mandate, others are structurally unaffected.
“The Swiss do not talk about stability. They practice it.”
