Family Offices
Family offices managing assets across jurisdictions, currencies, and generations need a discreet, relationship-driven FX partner with institutional-grade execution. Jackson Swiss Partners provides exactly that — without the opaque pricing of a private bank.
The Hidden Cost
Family offices typically pay 121 basis points on FX services — compared to as low as 5 basis points available through direct institutional execution. The gap is invisible in a private banking relationship but very real on the annual P&L.
