I think it is notable that Switzerland also has very favorable capital gains laws though, at least for private investors. Could hold stocks, gold / silver or crypto in Switzerland and not pay tax on gains as long as you hold them for 6 months or more, and didn't make more than 50% of your income from capital gains. [1]

It’s also notable that Swiss cantons impose various levels of global wealth tax. Fairly small I believe, around .5% mostly.

That sounds small but over 40 years that would net a portfolio about a quarter smaller than in a country without one.
