Credit Suisse have received a broker-dealer
licence in Chile which will allow the bank to provide HNW and UHNW
individuals in Chile with a range of wealth management services
locally.
Head of Credit Suisse private banking in Latin
America, Silvan Wyss, said that Chilean private investors are
increasingly demanding a more sophisticated approach to wealth
management.
Credit Suisse also said that this license is
part of the bank’s Latin America and emerging markets growth
strategy.
This strategy has seen Credit Suisse set up
onshore wealth management businesses in Brazil, Mexico and Panama
in the past five years. Credit Suisse have been present in Chile
for more than a decade.
