In the past three years, Asia has become an even more important market for leading independent and globally oriented Swiss fiduciary KENDRIS, with the region’s fast-growing high-net-worth population increasingly leaning towards acquiring and maintaining cross-border assets.

“Japan and Hong Kong are traditionally our largest markets in Asia,” says Christian Lyk, a partner at KENDRIS. “But now we are taking a closer look at mainland China. Wealthy Chinese individuals and their entities are more and more making investments out of Asia and need a reliable partner with vast experience in international asset structures. This is where we play a vital role.”

Bearing more than 100 years of expertise, KENDRIS offers the full spectrum of financial services, but deliberately excluded asset management to preserve its independence. Wholly owned by its management and employees and without exclusive ties with any bank or global organisation, KENDRIS is free to find the right partners and products for its clients.

“Our independence truly distinguishes us and assures our clients that their interests always come first,” Lyk says.
