Nz Investments Gmbh

What Nz Investments Gmbh does

NZ Investments GmbH is a Swiss wealth advisory firm founded in 2015 and headquartered in Zug, Switzerland, operating under FinSA with a license from REG-FIX and Finos ombudsman membership. The firm is led by founder Nicola Zanni, who brings 18 years of trading experience, and employs a 7-person team covering investment management, sales, IT, tax advisory, insurance brokerage, and business development. It serves SMEs and micro-businesses, digital nomads and single professionals, and institutional or qualified/professional investors seeking offshore relocations, alternative investment vehicles, asset protection, and crypto advisory services.

The firm offers a portfolio of ten alternative investment products structured as Actively Managed Certificates (A.M.C.s) and hedge funds across commodities and hard assets, quant derivatives, financial engineering, super bonds, high-beta equities, exotic real estate, precious metals and mining, and a dedicated crypto hedge fund, plus an equities hedge fund and a Swiss venture capital fund. Beyond investment vehicles, advisory covers asset protection (jurisdiction, bank, asset class, and currency diversification), offshore banking and trading setup, company formation in Switzerland and UAE free zones (IFZA Dubai, DMCC, RAK, ADGM), and crypto advisory including a proprietary crypto fund, DeFi/CeFi wallet setup, asset tokenization, and blockchain-based company formation with tokenized shares. Advisory is conducted through vehicles incorporated in non-EU jurisdictions including Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Cayman Islands, BVI, UAE, and UK Channel Islands.

The revenue model combines advisory fees on wealth management, offshore relocation, company formation, and asset protection services with performance-based fees aligned with Swiss private banking standards, under multi-year contracts. Distribution occurs through direct advisory engagements from Zug, partner banks as the primary product access channel, and external legal partners for company formation and crypto licensing across jurisdictions. Marketing relies on the founder's personal network, content marketing via a multilingual website and blog, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Telegram. No proprietary technology platform is described in the available sources.
