US Client-Focused Swiss Wealth House Changes Leadership
The business, founded in 1991, concentrates on serving US clients seeking to diversify wealth outside their home country. WHVP is based in Zurich.
The daughter and son-in-law of Robert Vrijhof - founder of
Switzerland-based wealth management house, WHVP - have taken over
the business. WHVP, which is also registered with the US
Securities and Exchange Commission, specialises in serving US
clients.
Taking the helm are Jamie Vrijhof-Droese and Urs Vrijhof-Droese,
the firm recently announced in a statement.
“Four years ago we started welcoming the second generation of
WHVP. Together with the existing team, Jamie and Urs have started
taking over more and more operative and strategic
responsibilities. In 2019, we handed over the management of the
company to them. After watching them successfully manage the
company, take care of clients, onboard new clients and modernize
our office, I have concluded that it is now time for me to take a
further step back and hand over the ownership of the company to
Jamie and Urs,” Vrijhof said.
WHVP was founded in 1991 and it is based in Zurich. The business,
which employs four staff, concentrates on working with US-based
clients who wish to diversify their assets outside the US. The
firm is regulated through the self-regulation body SAAM in
Switzerland and since 2011 also through the SEC in the US.
