What can Americans actually hold in a Swiss Offshore account?

It is one of the most practical questions WHVP receives, and in the latest episode of The Swiss View, Jess sits down with Jamie to answer it directly.

The short version: stocks, bonds, precious metals, foreign currencies — and yes, existing US titles can be transferred in. But the full picture is a bit more nuanced, including why WHVP voluntarily excludes the US market from its portfolios and how US regulation affects which non-US products are accessible to American investors.

If you have ever wondered what the investment universe looks like from a Swiss bank account, this one is worth watching.

Another WHVP East Coast trip successfully completed, with stops in Boston and New York.

Jamie Vrijhof has returned from the United States, where she spent time reconnecting in person with clients, prospective clients, and business partners across both cities. Face-to-face conversations remain one of the most valuable parts of what we do, from strengthening long-standing relationships to building new ones and exchanging perspectives on cross-border wealth planning.

We are grateful for the time, trust, and openness of everyone Jamie had the pleasure of meeting. These conversations continue to shape how WHVP thinks about internationally oriented wealth management.

A new chapter also calls for a fresh perspective.

With our move to a new office and the continued growth of our team, we felt it was the right moment to update our team photos. It’s a small change on the surface, but one that reflects a much broader development within WHVP.

Since our last shoot in 2021, the firm has continued to evolve — welcoming new colleagues, expanding our capabilities, and further strengthening how we work together. While many things have changed, what remains constant is the importance of the people behind WHVP.

Refreshing our team photos was not just about new images, but about capturing who we are today — a growing team, built on shared values and a long-term perspective.

Has the US already defaulted on its debt? It depends on how you define it.

In the latest episode of Swiss Money Secrets, Jess Roberson, Jamie Vrijhof and Urs Droese explore the moments in US monetary history where the rules were quietly rewritten: the 1933 gold revaluation, the 1971 Nixon shock, the end of Bretton Woods, and what each of those shifts meant for the real value of US debt obligations.

The conversation moves into the present: one in every five US government dollars is now spent on interest payments. Foreign holders are reducing their treasury bill exposure. And stablecoins are emerging as a possible mechanism for extending US financial dominance while managing the debt burden in new ways.

The episode ends with a practical point that applies to anyone with wealth in US dollars: diversification and currency consideration are not optional extras. They are the foundation of long-term wealth preservation.

In our latest video, we explain why meeting our clients in person remains an important part of how we work at WHVP.

We regularly travel across the United States to connect face-to-face — creating the opportunity for more direct conversations, clearer communication, and a stronger foundation for long-term relationships.

In this video, we discuss:
✅ Why in-person meetings continue to play a role in our approach
✅ How we stay connected with clients across different regions
✅ Where you can meet us throughout the year

At WHVP, we value personal interaction as part of an ongoing dialogue, helping us better understand individual situations and stay aligned over time.

Markets are pushing higher. But beneath the surface, performance is being driven by just a handful of companies, primarily in semiconductors, now accounting for roughly 18% of the S&P 500.

Meanwhile bond markets are telling a more cautious story. US 30-year Treasury yields have climbed above 5.10%. In the UK and Japan, long-term yields are at levels not seen since the late 1990s.

The US dollar is strengthening again, as it often does during periods of geopolitical uncertainty. And precious metals, despite repeated claims the cycle was over, continue to play a role in long-term wealth preservation.

For investors, one principle remains central: discipline.

Reacting to every headline rarely leads to better outcomes. Thinking in generations, staying diversified, and maintaining balance has historically mattered far more than predicting the next market move.

As we move deeper into the year and look forward to longer days and brighter summer skies, the geopolitical climate remains anything but calm. From a Swiss perspective, grounded, observant, and traditionally neutral, the contrast could hardly be sharper.

What does the price at the gas pump tell us about the state of the global economy?

More than most people realise.

In the latest episode of The Swiss View, Urs and Jess take a close look at the economic forces shaping the United States, the European Union, and Switzerland. From gas prices ranging between $3.80 and $7.50 per gallon across the US, to oil sitting at $104 a barrel, the conversation grounds big economic trends in the numbers that actually affect people day to day.

Topics discussed in this episode:

➡️What current GDP figures across the US, EU, and Switzerland are indicating
➡️Why stagflation is re-entering the conversation after years of persistent inflation
➡️The Strait of Hormuz, global oil supply chains, and the role of geopolitics in energy markets
➡️Why Switzerland remains one of the more stable economic environments to consider
➡️What these dynamics may mean for those thinking about long-term wealth planning internationally

With inflation in the US still above 3% and real GDP growth looking considerably less impressive once inflation is accounted for, central banks are navigating one of the more complex policy environments in recent memory.
