Political star Silberschmidt at controversial Marcuard

Andri Silberschmidt is the flagship politician of Zurich’s commoners. At the age of 25, the ex-president of the young friends rose to the big national council in the capital in the fast lift.

Now Silberschmidt writes on LinkedIn that he would immediately become the Strategic Advisor of the Marcuard Family Office.

It is a very rich and non-transparent financial group. Insiders report on questions about investments.

Marcuard has a Moez Jamal, an old CS warhorse from the times of Oswald Grübel.

Jamal has a financial firm in Zug with Claudio Cisullo, a busy investor and Ringier board member with a close link to UBS boss Sergio Ermotti.

Illustrious financial sharks: The young Silberschmidt lies in bed with them. He sees no problem in it himself.

“As I have always said, the current situation needed my full commitment at Kaisin”, he comments on an SMS request.

“If that gets into the normal way, I will resume a job that will not be in the financial sector.”

“The advisory mandate (at Marcuard, CoR) is to be understood in terms of time as a board mandate in an SME (fee roof CHF 16,000 per year).”

“My job will be to support the Multi Family Office with its services for the younger generation.”

Before moving up to national politics, Silberschmidt managed a fund at the Zürcher Kantonalbank. He is said to have rarely been there.

Even before last autumn’s elections, Zurich left the Kantonalbank. Back then, acquaintances thought that Silberschmidt could now launch important financial topics without conflicts of interest.

We are talking about a major renovation of the second pillar. There Silberschmidt worked hard.

With his mandate at Marcuard, Silberschmidt is taking care of questions.

How can the free-minded person, who moves into the media spotlight with a non-partisan flat share from young politicians (#PolitWG), appear as a credible politician in financial issues if he is also active for a less transparent financial structure?

No problem for Silberschmidt, since he says it is a mandate with little compensation.

As a National Councilor, Silberschmidt receives around CHF 150,000 a year. Not many 25 year olds in the country earn more.

His gastro start-up Kaisin didn’t really get going before Corona. Now Silberschmidt’s full commitment is needed.

The Marcuard mandate hardly fits this. Silberschmidt is risking his reputation as an independent representative for some money.
