Companion website to the book. Since the Financial Institutions Act (FinIA) and the Financial Services Act (FinSA) came into force, asset managers, trustees, managers of collective assets and fund management companies in Switzerland need a licence from FINMA. This handbook guides founders, executive boards and compliance officers through the licensing procedure and ongoing supervision. For every question it gives the statutory basis and current practice. You see early on which requirements apply to your business model and how to meet them. The book is written in German.
