1 Asset Management in the 21st Century Because the future is unpredictable, the active management of your private wealth is important to ensure the well being of you and your family. This takes a lot of valuable time and requires special expertise. As you would seek out professionals such as doctors and lawyers to provide you with guidance in their special areas of expertise, so Mizuho Private Banking will provide you with the professionalism necessary for the protection and growth of your assets. However, our definition of Private Banking goes much further than just providing assistance in the management of your wealth. It includes advice in areas such as tax- and inheritance planning, as well as providing assistance to your companies. Our goal is to become your personal, trusted, professional advisor providing you with financial solutions tailored to your needs.

2 The Tradition of Swiss Private Banking The origins of Private Banking in Switzerland go back to the 18th century. It developed because many wealthy families preferred to keep their assets in a country that provided financial expertise combined with political and economic stability. Switzerland's neutrality also played an important role. This led to the development of the concept of Universal Banking which enables you to contact one bank for the entire range of financial solutions. At Mizuho Bank (Switzerland) Ltd, we provide stability and reliability combined with the provision of global advice on internationally diversified investments, coupled with regular personal meetings and continuous reporting.

3 Reliability and Trust Following the tradition of Swiss Private Banking. Mizuho Switzerland's investment strategy is based on globally diversified management conducted by trustworthy professionals. The provisions of Swiss Banking Law and the Guidelines of the Swiss Bankers Association regulate our activities and are enforced by independent auditors. In accordance with the Swiss regulations, we provide you with impartial advice and recommendations on the wide range of globally available products and management strategies. Your assets are held in trust for you and separated from the bank's assets. Your affairs are conducted with the utmost discretion, and protected by the well-established Swiss legal system, which is designed to give you peace of mind over the long term.
