You can start operating as an Asset Manager in Switzerland immediately and provide, Discretionary Management of Client Portfolios, Investment Advice, Asset Allocation and Risk Management…
You can start operating as fund manager: A PFLC can benefit of the ‘De Minimis’ rule. This rule allows firms managing funds below certain thresholds to operate with a portfolio management license, albeit under specific regulatory conditions, instead of a full CISA license. The thresholds are:
As Switzerland has a waterfall system the Portfolio Management company can provide in addition all the services of an SRO
You can upgrade the license with a trustee license or with a Collective Investment (CISA) License
UPGRADE TO FINMA PORTFOLIO AND TRUSTEE LICENSE.
Professional Fees for the upgrade: 75,000 CHF
Under the FINMA Trustee License, the Portfolio management company will be able to provide the following additional activities:
Trust Management: This is the core function of a trustee, involving the administration of a trust according to the terms set out in the trust deed. This includes managing the trust’s assets, ensuring the trust’s purposes are fulfilled, and acting in the best interests of the beneficiaries.
A trustee can manage multiple trusts. Holding a FINMA Trustee License allows a trustee to undertake the administration and management of several trusts, each potentially with its own set of terms, beneficiaries, and asset portfolios but he must be wary to
Fiduciary Duties: Trustees hold legal title to the trust’s assets and are obligated to manage these assets for the benefit of the beneficiaries. This involves an elevated level of fiduciary responsibility and ethical conduct.
Investment Management: Depending on the terms of the trust, trustees may also be involved in making investment decisions for the trust’s assets. This could include managing a portfolio of investments, buying, and selling assets, and making other financial decisions.
UPGRADE TO CISA LICENSE.
As Switzerland has a waterfall system the CISA licensed company can provide all services of a CISA company + all services of a Portfolio Management company and all services of an SRO
Professional Fees for the upgrade: 95,000 CHF
Key aspects of the FINMA CISA Fund License include:
The adoption of Article 118a in CISA indeed creates a new category for L-QIFs. This offers several advantages primarily due to the exemption from the requirement of FINMA authorization prior to launch. Here are the key benefits with some additional context:
You will have Increased Flexibility: The exemption from FINMA authorization allows for greater operational flexibility in setting up and managing L-QIFs. This can facilitate more innovative and diverse investment strategies.
Fund Managers can enjoy Increased Speed to Market: Without the need for regulatory approval processes, L-QIFs can be brought to market more rapidly, which is a significant advantage in a dynamic investment environment.
This rule results in Lower Costs: By circumventing the lengthy and often costly authorization process, L-QIFs can potentially reduce regulatory and administrative expenses, making them an attractive option for fund managers.
L-QIFs benefit from Access to Qualified Investors: L-QIFs are limited to qualified investors. But in Switzerland there is a relatively low threshold for qualifying as a “qualified investor”. Besides Switzerland being a pragmatic country, retail investors can become qualified investors by simply signing a letter.
Tax Efficiency: Switzerland’s favorable tax regime can make L-QIFs an attractive option for tax-efficient fund structuring.
Qualified investors within the meaning of this CISA are: professional clients as defined in Article 4 paragraphs 3–5 or Article 5 paragraphs 1 and 4 FinSA Act.
Are deemed Professional Clients
