Simon Platz has been a client since 2023. He got to know smzh at the Arosa Classic Car event – a casual, pleasant encounter that later led to a relationship based on trust. Today he owns a house, has optimized his retirement provision, and has complete trust in smzh.
Simon was at a pivotal point in his life: Originally from France, he wanted to buy an own home but didn’t yet fully understand the complexities of the Swiss financial system. At the same time, a previous advisory experience had shaken his trust in the industry: Another provider had recommended an unsuitable pillar 3a product as well as unnecessary insurance policies – without considering his actual needs.
Since then, Simon hadn’t trusted anyone – until he came upon smzh.
After a first encounter at the Arosa Classic Car, smzh got in touch with Simon by phone. Simon agreed to collaborate – the beginning of a very positive experience right from the start.
smzh pursued a holistic, client-centric approach with tailor-made solutions in all relevant areas:
smzh was always available, reacted rapidly, and in a pleasant manner – thus rebuilding the trust Simon had lost in financial advisory firms.
Simon successfully purchased and financed a home in the Canton of Aargau – a milestone whose success he largely attributes to smzh. Moreover, he now has a clear, optimized financial strategy that includes retirement provision, insurance, and taxes.
What Simon appreciates additionally is the relationship itself. In smzh, he has a partner that is reliably available, is familiar with his circumstances, and responds with honest, tailor-made recommendations.

Michelle had no structured overview of her finances. Insurance, pension and mortgage ran in parallel without coordination. Her goal: reduce costs and build a long-term strategy.
Simon had no household contents insurance and held a pillar 3a exclusively through his bank. He was largely unaware of the differences between a bank-based and an insurance-based third pillar solution. A previous encounter with another financial advisor had left a bad aftertaste – aggressive sales tactics with no genuine interest in his needs.
Anton wanted to know if his insurance portfolio was well set up. smzh's answer was clear and unexpected: yes, it was. That honesty was the start of a relationship that now covers his entire family.
Sonja faced administrative, legal and financial questions all at once. The sheer complexity overwhelmed her – until smzh took over the overview and gave her back her peace of mind
Kai relocated from Germany to Switzerland and faced a system he didn't know. No frame of reference, no orientation. smzh guided him step by step into Swiss standards.
