Fritz Kaiser (born 22 March 1955) is a wealth management entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist from the Principality of Liechtenstein.
Specifically, in 2011, he won the Spear’s Magazine "Wealth Management Innovator of the Year" award for the successful instigation and development of the Liechtenstein disclosure facility (LDF), a vehicle which promotes tax compliance by assisting British taxpayers in the declaration of previously untaxed assets.
[1] He is co-founder and trustee of the Mentor Foundation, a drug-prevention organization for children launched 1994 at the United Nations General Assembly in Geneva.
[3] Fritz Kaiser completed a commerce degree (Handelsakademie) in Feldkirch, Austria and began his business career in 1977 at Präsidial-Anstalt, one of the leading trust firms in Liechtenstein.
Kaiser continued to pursue this interest in financial services through his purchase of the Diners Club credit card business in Liechtenstein and Switzerland.
This agreement would assist British citizens with non-declared assets in their disclosure, making them HMRC compliant for a minimum penalty.
It was for this work that Fritz Kaiser and his colleague, former Baker & McKenzie lawyer Philip Marcovici, won the Spear’s Magazine Award for 'Wealth Management Innovator of the Year 2011'.
