Deadline Fast Approaching: Ensure The Distribution Of Your Fund Is FinSA-Compliant

      The deadline for the Swiss Financial Services Act (FinSA) is fast approaching and it’s important to ensure you are compliant by December 31, 2021.

      HOW TO ENSURE THE DISTRIBUTION OF YOUR FUND IS FINSA-COMPLIANT

      The Swiss Financial Services Act (FinSA) came into force on 1 January, 2020 and as a result, it changed the regulatory requirements concerned with offering investment funds to Swiss investors. The expanded requirements now include the following:

      • Affiliation to an ombudsman;
      • Registration of client advisors;
      • Professional insurance requirements;
      • New organizational rules;
      • New conduct rules; and
      • A new classification of investors
      DEADLINES

      Ombudsman:
      Dec 24, 2020

      Registration of client advisors: Jan 19, 2021

      Full FinSA compliance:
      Dec 31, 2021

      The obligations that apply to each provider will depend on the type of product being offered and one should note that there is a transition period with different deadlines to allow all financial service providers to be fully compliant with the new rules and regulations.

      Oligo provides clients with a comprehensive solution package to ensure full compliance with FinSA.
