"It wasn't the numbers that mattered most – it was the trust. smzh showed me how valuable real guidance is."

On her daughter's recommendation, Sonja Perez came to smzh in 2022 and has been a loyal client ever since.

Midlife brings with it new questions: What do I truly own? What arrangements do I need to make? What will I leave behind? It wasn’t individual decisions, but rather the sheer complexity of all these topics at once that overwhelmed her. smzh not only took work off her hands but also gave her peace of mind.

Direction At An Overwhelming Stage of Life

01 – THE STARTING POINT

What was Sonja's situation before she became a client?

Sonja found herself at a stage of life characterized by a multitude of simultaneous issues: administrative, legal, financial, and organizational questions arose all at once. At times, she felt overwhelmed and worried about making mistakes.

She approached smzh on the recommendation of her daughter, who was already a client of smzh.

02 – THE CHALLENGE

What specific obstacles had to be overcome?

  • Complexity of simultaneous administrative, legal, and financial topics
  • Worried about making mistakes in important decisions
  • Lack of structure and overview in an emotionally challenging phase
  • Need for a contact person that not only advises, but also takes responsibility
03 – THE SUPPORT OF smzh

What did smzh do for Sonja?

smzh assumed the comprehensive coordination, structuring, and implementation of all open topics – with a clear, gradual approach:

  • Coordination of administrative tasks and monitoring of deadlines
  • Correspondence with external parties, including process management
  • Gradual structuring of all topics, incl. regular updates
  • Facilitating decisions by clearly showing risks and solutions
  • Calm, professional, and transparent guidance at all stages

The key for Sonja was that she no longer needed to struggle with countless documents all by herself. She had found someone who kept an overview.

04 – THE RESULT

What has Sonja achieved?

The biggest outcome for Sonja was not an individual result, but the tremendous relief. She was able to sleep again, had clarity, and knew that her topics were handled professionally.

smzh not only took work off her shoulders, but also gave her a sense of security. A sense of security that was priceless at this particular stage of life.

"I recommend smzh to anyone seeking clarity on insurance and retirement provision."

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.
