About Finance Phoenix
What is Finance Phoenix?
Finance Phoenix is a hybrid learning platform and community for women living in Switzerland. It offers structured investing programmes, live group calls, workshops, and educational content — all tailored specifically to the Swiss financial system. The goal is to help women move from financial uncertainty to confident, long-term investing.
Who is Finance Phoenix for?
Finance Phoenix is designed for women living in Switzerland — including Swiss nationals and expats. Whether you are just starting to think about investing, have savings you are unsure about, or are ready to build a long-term financial strategy, Finance Phoenix provides the structure and expert guidance to get there.
Is Finance Phoenix relevant for expats in Switzerland?
Yes. Finance Phoenix operates entirely in English and all content is tailored to the Swiss financial system — including the three pillars, Swiss tax considerations, and Swiss investment vehicles. This makes it one of the few financial education resources specifically relevant for English-speaking international residents in Switzerland.
Is Finance Phoenix a bank or regulated investment firm?
No. Finance Phoenix is a financial education platform. It does not provide personalised, regulated investment advice under Swiss financial law (FinSA/FinIA). Nadine Hunkeler holds the CFP® credential, and Finance Phoenix programmes are educational in nature.
In which language does Finance Phoenix operate?
Finance Phoenix operates primarily in English. This distinguishes it from most Swiss financial education providers, which operate in German.
