Swiss Asset Management

Swiss financial intermediaries have faced increased regulatory demands due to recent AML, FinIA, and FinSA regulations, necessitating enhanced documentation and organizational compliance. To address these challenges, turnkey solutions have been developed to streamline compliance implementation, from application to FINMA certification. These solutions include compliance remediation, risk management outsourcing, and support services to ensure alignment with regulatory standards. Additionally, they facilitate smoother interactions with custodian banks while keeping clients compliant with evolving legal requirements.

A sold Swiss asset management company, structured as a joint-stock entity, offers professional management of private, institutional, and corporate assets. Equipped with a FINMA-authorized AM license, it can handle credit transactions, payment services, asset management, investment advisory, and securities management. The turnkey delivery includes a Swiss resident director, compliance officer, bank accounts (e.g., Credit Suisse), and corporate infrastructure like a website and phone number. A requirement of three employees on 30% contracts incurs additional costs of CHF 3,000–5,000 per employee.
