MCG said the partnership will bridge on-the-ground expertise in Asian private wealth management with access to Swiss-standard international structuring, asset management, and cross-border investment solutions.

Strategic Swiss Partners, based in Switzerland, is a boutique management and financial service advisory firm founded and headed by Malaysian entrepreneur Guna R Mahalingam.

It offers multi-jurisdictional fund structuring, cross-border wealth planning, and institutional capital raising services.

MCG director Chris Crowe said the partnership is relevant for their clients in various segments, such as internationally mobile professionals, business owners with multi-jurisdictional assets, and families with complex estate and succession planning requirements.

“The partnership represents an important step in strengthening MCG’s global network,” Crowe said.

“By combining our deep understanding of Asian private wealth with Swiss expertise in international structuring and investment advisory, we are able to deliver even greater institutional-grade solutions to clients across the region,” he was quoted as saying by melbournecapitalgroup.com.

Crowe said MCG has long championed the principle that clients across Asia deserve access to the same calibre of advisory services available through the world’s leading private banking institutions.

He said its partnership with Strategic Swiss Partners ensures clients receive “holistic, independent advice informed by best-in-class international perspectives”.

Strategic Swiss Partners has over 30 years of international leadership in financial services, with operations spanning Switzerland, Malaysia, China, and the UAE.
