Corporate liquidity events — dividend resolutions, founder exits, capital distributions — create high-net-worth clients overnight. These entrepreneurs are not browsing private banking websites. They are making decisions in a narrow window, usually in conversation with whoever reaches them first. Private bankers who call in the days after the SHAB notice win mandates. Those who wait find the wealth already placed.
Private banking relationships are not won through brochures or referral networks alone — they are won in the conversation that happens immediately after a liquidity event. The SHAB publishes those events publicly, daily. The private banker who reads it first has a genuine head start on every competitor in the market.
Una delibera sui dividendi o l'uscita di un fondatore non dà a un imprenditore mesi per decidere dove va il patrimonio. Pianificazione fiscale, questioni di custodia, mandati di investimento — queste decisioni si comprimono in settimane. Un private banker che chiama durante quella finestra sta risolvendo un problema attivo. Uno che chiama dopo propone i propri servizi per un problema già risolto.
Whoever reaches a newly liquid entrepreneur first gets to frame the relationship as advisory rather than transactional. Arriving after a competitor has already had that conversation means you are pitching against an established frame — and the incumbent has a structural advantage even if their offering is inferior.
An executive appointment often comes with share grants, deferred compensation, or a signing package that creates immediate private wealth management needs. A newly promoted CFO or incoming CEO at a sizeable Swiss company is a high-probability private banking prospect — and the SHAB publishes those appointments the day they are registered.
Two SHAB event types reliably indicate fresh liquidity or a change in personal wealth circumstances. Both create a narrow window where an early private banking conversation can determine where assets are placed for years.
Una holding zurighese approva una delibera di dividendo di CHF 4.2M. Il SHAB la pubblica. L'azionista fondatore sta ora pensando attivamente a dove confluirà quel capitale. Ciò che accade dopo dipende interamente da chi chiama per primo.
SHAB events give you a real, specific, verifiable reason to reach out. That changes the conversation from cold outreach to warm intelligence — and it changes the reply rate from near zero to genuinely competitive.
Founders & Movers has 27 pre-configured roles. These work similarly to Private Banker — they all turn SHAB liquidity and leadership signals into warm outreach opportunities.
