Ms. Jinling SUN

CEO, La Soleille Family Office

Dear families, dear clients, dear partners—especially our Chinese friends from Hong Kong, Singapore, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and around the globe,

As we stand on the threshold of 2025, I am delighted to welcome the new year together with all of you. Over the past year, the global landscape has remained challenging and uncertain. Heightened geopolitical tensions and the rivalry between major powers have placed even greater pressures and risks on families and businesses. And yet, it is in the face of these uncertainties that we have seen more and more forward-thinking families turn to Switzerland—not only for wealth preservation and growth, but also for the stability and long-term opportunities it offers.

Over the past years, La Soleille Family Office has remained dedicated to delivering in-depth, robust, and diversified services to Asian and global Chinese families. As cross-border travel and international business gradually recovered in 2024, we observed a new generation of Chinese families placing increasing emphasis on education, healthcare, and residency planning. At the same time, they have shown unprecedented demand and enthusiasm for overseas asset allocation, particularly in Swiss real estate.

On this note, I would like to share with you our strategic focus for 2025. I will also introduce La Soleille’s latest developments in the Swiss real estate sector and explain how our comprehensive services help overseas Chinese families move forward steadily in today’s global environment.

1. Standing Firm and Adapting Amid Global Turmoil

In 2024, escalating geopolitical tensions gave rise to concerns among many cross-border families. Potential friction between major powers—such as the US and China over the Taiwan issue—casts uncertainty on future economic growth and the security of global assets. For Chinese immigrant families—whether from Hong Kong, Singapore, the US, the UK, Canada, or elsewhere—thorough and attentive cross-border planning has become more crucial than ever.

•  Risk Management: Over the past year, we have intensified our collaboration with several Swiss private banks, legal advisors, and tax experts. We help our clients review and rebalance their portfolios to diversify risks and ensure maximum compliance and protection.

•  Agile Responses: In the face of rapidly shifting global economic and political conditions, the La Soleille team has been quick to learn and adapt. We strive to respond promptly and professionally to our clients’ evolving needs.

2. Swiss Real Estate: A New Opportunity for Global Chinese Families

Globally, and in particular across Europe, Swiss real estate has long been known for its stability, inflation-resistance, and high transparency—attributes that make it one of the top investment and lifestyle choices for many high-net-worth international families. In 2025, La Soleille will take our Swiss real estate services to new heights, providing a wide range of specialized and tailored solutions for Chinese families around the world seeking a more comfortable, secure, and value-rich “second home” or “second asset pool.”

1. Exclusive Property Selection

•  We work closely with reputable Swiss developers, luxury resort operators, and private estate management teams to help our clients discover premium real estate in Switzerland’s major cities and vacation destinations.

•  Whether it’s a tranquil chalet at the foot of the Alps, a lakeside villa in Zurich, or a promising commercial or boutique hotel project, our team conducts professional assessments based on each family’s needs.

  
  

2. Full-Service Support

•  From property evaluation and due diligence to purchase formalities, tax structuring, and legal compliance, La Soleille’s dedicated real estate team connects clients to a wide network of resources and expertise.

•  Ongoing services like property management, day-to-day maintenance, and value-enhancement strategies at a family-office standard help families transcend barriers of time zone, language, and culture.

  
  

3. Integration with Succession and Residency Planning

•  For families considering long-term residence in Switzerland or Europe—whether for children’s education or healthcare needs—we offer comprehensive planning that brings together relocation, residency, and education services.

•  Through our partnerships with cantonal authorities, top-ranked schools, and private clinics in Switzerland, clients gain single-point access to excellent education and healthcare resources.

  
  

3. Holistic Protection: Seamless Integration of Education, Healthcare, and Corporate Services

Looking back on 12 years of La Soleille, our team continues to grow in expertise and to deepen our service offering, all with the single aim of providing our clients with the highest level of support and companionship. For global Chinese families, real estate investment and residency planning are only part of the equation—education and healthcare remain at the core.

•  Education and Succession: Through close collaboration with leading schools and universities in Switzerland, we tailor programs to each child’s personality and goals, helping the next generation strengthen their global outlook and cultural grounding.

  
  

•  Healthcare Management: Partnering with top private clinics, wellness centers, and medical research institutions in Switzerland, we help our clients stay informed about and benefit from the most advanced health management and treatment options.

  
  

•  Corporate Services and Business Expansion: In light of changing investment and trade policies toward Chinese and Asian entrepreneurs across various regions, La Soleille’s corporate services team has accumulated valuable experience over the past two years. We now assist a growing number of Asian and Chinese companies to establish a footprint in Switzerland, expand their market presence, and execute cross-border M&A—helping them move forward with stability and confidence.

4. Gratitude and Aspirations

No success is ever achieved alone. I extend my heartfelt thanks to every client for their trust in La Soleille, to my team for their tireless dedication and professionalism, and to our partners and Advisory Board, whose global expertise has proved invaluable.

Looking back, La Soleille has endured periods of turbulence and transformation, always guided by the principle of putting families and clients at the center. We have accumulated extensive experience and resources along the way. As we enter 2025, the world remains in flux, yet I am confident we will continue seizing opportunities and confronting challenges to provide a trustworthy, long-term partnership to every global Chinese family choosing Switzerland—and choosing La Soleille.

Let us together embark on a new chapter in 2025, braving the storms hand in hand while embracing every opportunity. May the sun shine upon us all, and may each family’s future be filled with peace, stability, and boundless possibility!
