Switzerland

Switzerland is a unique jurisdiction when coming to regulatory regime for companies engaged in financial services provision.

 

Under Swiss law, companies providing financial intermediation and asset management services can be supervised by SRO (self-regulating organizations) that are registered with FINMA.

Such companies are only supervised in respect to compliance with AML regulations.

  • manage assets;
  • make investments as investment advisers;
  • hold securities on deposit or manage securities
