Switzerland has topped Henley & Partners’ new global ‘Opportunity Index’, which ranks the best destinations for High Net Worth (HNW) in terms of accessing the best education in the world – and the ease at which HNW individuals can move there and gain citizenship.
An education in Switzerland, the US or Singapore — and relocating for the long term — could bring an ‘opportunity advantage’ to young HNWs, according to Henley & Partners new global ‘Opportunity Index’.
Young and internationally-mobile UHNWs can ‘maximise their career prospects’ through an education in Switzerland, the new report has found.
The Alpine education hub scored a chart-topping 85% on the index, which has ranked countries on their earning potential, career advancement opportunities, economic mobility and ‘liveability’ – in addition to the quality of education each destination delivers.
Switzerland’s schools, which are widely regarded as world-leading, often come with hefty price tags. Institute auf dem Rosenberg, for instance, has fees upwards of $150,000.
Meanwhile, the USA came in second place with a score of 82 per cent, followed by Singapore with an appraisal of 79 per cent.
Both Singapore and Switzerland scored a maximum 100% when it comes to earning potential, although the Asian city-state gained 55% when it comes to accessing a ‘premium education’, compared to 72% for Switzerland.
Anglophone countries performed well in the index, with Australia in fourth place, followed by Canada and the UK in fifth and sixth place.
