Challenge
A founding team of veterans from leading Swiss asset managers wanted to launch their own AMC but lacked the capacity and regulatory expertise to handle the licensing process — while maintaining a flexible, low cost base from day one.
Approach
- Defined the specific offering to identify exact FINIG licence requirements
- Managed all documentation and admin work for the licensing process
- Selected and negotiated outsourced risk and compliance to a leading Swiss provider
- Selected and negotiated with a Tier 1 global bank for structured product issuance
- Designed a TOM with maximum outsourcing to maintain a flexible cost base
Outcomes and recommendations
- FINIG licence received within 12 weeks of engagement start
- Full AMC operating model live in 12 weeks
- Introductions to Tier 1 European asset managers for distribution agreements
- Connection to editorial team of a leading Swiss financial publication
