Investing for Americans Abroad & U.S. Expats | Gimme Some Truth for Expats
Not only is Walkner Condon Financial Advisors' Syl Michelin, CFA, a native of France, but he also spent several years living in Switzerland and holds a Swiss passport. His wealth of knowledge on investing and financial planning as an American in Switzerland is perhaps exceeded only by the copious cliches about watches and chocolate (though, surprisingly, there was only one such reference in this episode). But, as Syl, Stan Farmer, and Keith Poniewaz make note of in this introduction to Switzerland – another in our series of episodes about key countries for U.S. expats – there is much more to life in Switzerland, including booming tech and biopharma industries. The big pillars that constitute financial life for U.S. expats in Switzerland are the canton system, the 26 member states of the Swiss Confederation, and the – drumroll, please – three-pillar pension system. Because of those cantons, your experience as an expat could be quite different depending on where you live. The good news across the board is the Swiss' treatment of capital gains, but you'll have to listen to the episode for more on that, Switzerland's mysterious fourth official language, and our team's budding idea for a horror novel staged in that region of Switzerland (we'd hate to spoil your audio appetite). If you have any questions about moving to Switzerland, or if you're a U.S. expat already in Switzerland, don't hesitate to reach out to our team. --- LINKS Watch on YouTube Walkner Condon's YouTube Channel Educational Materials for Expats Contact Us Speak to One of Our Financial Advisors --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/walkner-condon-expats/message

Remember that preparation is more important now than ever. A move can sometimes become a disorganized affair, but now is the time to make it as neat and orderly as possible. By minimizing the moving time, you’re minimizing contact and exposure. 3. If you’re doing the move yourself, clean the truck and any shared moving bins or boxes. If you’re hiring a moving company, inquire about the specific measures they’re using to deal with the pandemic, both with their equipment and employees. A move can be a frustrating experience, but don’t throw caution to the wind and get careless. Be mindful of ongoing advice about masks, social distancing, and hygiene.
