The new Swiss Financial Services Act (FinSA) and Swiss Financial Institutions Act (FinIA) came into force on 1 January 2020 and have made significant changes to the Swiss regulatory requirements for offering funds in Switzerland which impose new obligations for the distribution of funds and the persons involved in the distribution of funds. The expanded requirements under FinSA include:
Affiliation with an ombudsmanRegistration of a client adviserNew organisational rulesNew conduct and client segmentation rulesNew rules around advertising.
The transition period for fully implementing such changes (as applicable in the individual case) comes to an end in little over two months, on the 31 December 2021, at which point providers must comply with the new rules.
In this webinar, Dechert LLP together with Christoph Rohr from Naegeli & Partners, will take a deep dive into the new requirements and explore what you need to do to ensure that you are compliant by 31 December 2021.
