Private banking is expensive with about 1 percent fees. However, there is the possibility to buy institutional funds vs index ETFs. Which investment is better?

Swiss private banking (wealth management) is more expensive. You have a management fee of more than 1% (rather 1.5%) in general.

Important: This is just the management fee. Additionally, you normally have to pay spreads, foreign exchange fees, transaction fees and product fees (like fund fees: TER). Fund fees alone will cost you an additional 1-2% per year on average.

Conclusion: If you buy index ETFs by yourself (execution only), this is by FAR the cheaper solution.

Another possibility would be cheap robo advisory services. There, you typically have a minimal flat fee of 0.5% plus ETFs expenses. Thus, robo advisors are cheaper than usual private banking services, but a little more expensive than buying ETFs by yourself.
