Notice to Swiss Investors

Atlantic-Pacific offers the following financial service to Swiss investors: marketing and advertising of funds. Such service does not amount to a personal investment recommendation.

We are required by the Federal Financial Services Act (FinSA) to classify Swiss investors into three categories: retail (Private), Professional and Institutional Clients. The corresponding level of regulatory protection varies, depending on the investor's knowledge and experience in connection with investment matters:

  • Retail (Private) Clients are granted the highest level of regulatory protection. However, we do not market funds to Swiss Private Clients;
  • Professional Clients who meet minimum requirements such as operating a treasury operation, are deemed to have the necessary knowledge and experience to invest in all asset classes and to be financially able to bear the investment risks associated with the financial services; and
  • Institutional Clients such as regulated financial intermediaries, insurance companies and central banks are afforded the lowest level of regulatory protection.

We market funds only to Institutional and Professional Clients under FinSA (Qualified Investors under the Collective Investment Schemes Act (CISA)). Consequently we will not verify whether the funds offered to such investors are suitable or appropriate.
