ASSET MANAGEMENT
After many years of growing assets under management (AuM) and handsome margins, the asset management industry is now facing increasing pressure on costs and transparency as well as a wave of new and stricter regulations.
Financial market laws and regulations are affecting various players in the asset management sector by subjecting them to licensing, rules on professional conduct and other standards governing their core business activities.
We help our clients analyze and implement the regulations relevant to them and offer tailored solutions, so you can focus on your core business.

- Legal and regulatory advice on industry-specific topics, e.g. in relation to licensing requirements, launch and distribution of collective investment schemes and structured products, cross-border issues, prevention of money laundering
- License applications (FINMA) for collective investment schemes and their promoters and service providers, e.g. custodians, fund management companies, asset managers, representatives, distributors
