Ridger has no office in Zurich. We work from Geneva with families living elsewhere in Switzerland, with an organisation designed for digital from the start.
Your wealth is consolidated on a secure platform, your documents are kept in a digital vault hosted in Switzerland, and in-person meetings can be arranged when useful.
Remote by default, in person when useful
Everyday exchanges happen online and by video call. For an annual review, a family decision or a meeting with your advisers, an in-person meeting can be arranged.
Your Zurich advisers, coordinated
We bring in your current banks, asset managers, lawyers and fiduciaries rather than replacing them. For tax, we prepare the documents expected by the Kantonales Steueramt Zürich and coordinate deadlines with your tax adviser.
In German, French or English
We work in German, French, English, Spanish and Portuguese. Each family member can speak with us in the language that comes most naturally.
