Independent advice

Paid by our clients. By nobody else.

Most financial advice is funded by the products it recommends. That arrangement is invisible to the client and it systematically favours expensive solutions.

Helfenstein Group is paid only by its clients — private individuals and families, never institutions or companies. We publish our fees, we credit any retrocession we cannot avoid, our advisers have no product sales targets, and we never hold your assets: custody stays with the bank you choose, in your name and under your control.

What we do for you

  • Fee transparency

    You know the cost before you decide anything.

  • No retrocessions

    Any third-party payment is credited to you.

  • Written analysis

    Recommendations you can read, check and keep.

  • Free first meeting

    The initial consultation costs you nothing.
