The Vice President of the Swiss Chamber of Commerce in the Netherlands, mr R.A.U. Juchter van Bergen Quast, was fortunate to attend the annual Amsterdam Investor Forum 2019, organized by ABN AMRO Clearing. This most interesting event took place in Amsterdam on 19 and 20 March 2019. Now in its 8th year, the forum welcomed 250+ Institutional investors, fund managers and industry participants to debate and discuss the most important challenges and opportunities facing the industry in 2019.
SCCN participated in interesting discussions about the development of new, complex financial instruments and the formation of subsidiaries of Swiss financial firms in The Netherlands. The result has been that at least one firm is convinced that it needs to establish a Dutch entity in order to expand its network in Europe. It is very well possible that ABN AMRO Clearing will be chosen as its banking partner.
