Pilotage Process and Ecosystem

An orientation for prospective clients — how a Pilotage engagement unfolds across four phases, and how the full constellation of our disciplines fits together around your course.

scrolleddown

The complete process,
in three circles.

Circle 01 · Values & Beliefs

A four-phase engagement, refined over time.

Each phase is a checkpoint. Beneath it, the wealth architecture accumulates — from a handful of anchoring values to a fully articulated Wealth & Investment Plan.

Phase 01

Values & Philosophy

The origin points — enduring values, philosophy, history and governance surface as the first anchors of the constellation.

Phase 02

Goals & Life

Goals, lifestyle, risk appetite, education and philanthropy — how wealth is asked to serve the life it supports.

Phase 03

Balance Sheet & Structure

Income, assets, liabilities, expenditure, tax, protection and succession — engineered into a single, coherent frame.

Phase 04

Wealth & Investment Plan

Everything resolves into a fully articulated Wealth & Investment Plan — implemented and stewarded continuously.

A four-phase investment process,
refined continuously.

Each phase is a checkpoint. Beneath it, the portfolio architecture accumulates — from the selection of risk premia to a fully constructed, controlled Investment Portfolio.

Phase 01

Select the risks

The origin points — market risk premia, factor exposures, asset classes and regions surface as the first anchors of the portfolio.

Phase 02

Construct the base

Strategic allocation, diversification, currency, rebalancing and cost — the structural decisions that drive the majority of long-term outcomes.

Phase 03

Enhance the returns

Smart beta, thematic, active and tactical exposures introduce non-correlated, asymmetric drivers aligned with the overall framework.

Phase 04

Investment Portfolio

Everything resolves into a resilient, well-structured Investment Portfolio — controlled, rebalanced and monitored continuously.

A four-layer platform,
integrated end to end.

Each layer is a checkpoint. Beneath it, the platform accumulates — from the custodian network to a fully secured Swiss Platform.

Phase 01

Custody

A diversified network of leading private banks — the first anchors of the platform, selected for strength, jurisdiction and access.

Phase 02

Integrate

Systems, data, reporting, accounts and structures — every relationship consolidated into one coherent, real-time framework.

Phase 03

Govern

FINMA, SEC, FADP, GDPR, FinSA, compliance and independent audit — regulatory discipline embedded at every level.

Phase 04

Swiss Platform

Everything resolves into a fully secured Swiss Platform — institutional infrastructure with data protection at every layer.

A four-stage capital lifecycle,
engineered end to end.

Each stage is a checkpoint. Beneath it, the Private Office accumulates — from structuring the framework to a fully coordinated advisory function.

Phase 01

Structure

Operating businesses, holding entities, investment vehicles and ownership design — the framework beneath every subsequent decision.

Phase 02

Deploy

Direct investments, co-investments and equity & debt solutions — capital allocated and raised across the personal and corporate balance sheet.

Phase 03

Execute

Mergers & acquisitions, project finance, trade finance and liquidity — transactions coordinated and executed within a single mandate.

Phase 04

Sustain

Governance, succession, due diligence and risk oversight — personal and corporate wealth aligned across generations, held in one Private Office.
