Uncovering wrong assumptions
Swiss FUND SOLUTION
Switzerland is one of the top financial centers and traditional safe havens around the globe. Swiss wealth management has a very long tradition that can be attributed to its economic and regulatory stability and high quality standards. Asset managers investing into bankable assets with a domestic client focus might prefer such a Swiss format with retail access to a more expensive European fund solution.
+ Access to Swiss Retail and Professional Investors.
+ Switzerland is a AAA-rated economy.
+ Time-to-market and lower costs compared to Luxembourg.
- No EU passporting by standard
Liechtenstein FUND SOLUTION
Liechtenstein is an active member of the European Economic Area (EEA) and therefore has unrestricted access to the European domestic market and Switzerland. The Principality of Liechtenstein has been a traditional and proven financial center for many decades, with a high degree of legal security and political stability. The liberal economic system, as well as transparent and internationally corresponding tax and legal standards are the success factors of this location.
+ EU passporting and access to Switzerland.
+ Liechtenstein is a AAA-rated economy.
+ A quicker time-to-market and lower costs compared to Luxembourg.
- Offers highest quality standards, but is less popular with investors.
The Liechtenstein Private Label Fund (PLF) is often seen as an alternative to its Luxembourg counterpart, especially by German-speaking clientele. The PLF is a very flexible AIFMD-compliant fund and benefits from passporting advantages for distribution to professional investors across the EU as specified under MIFID. Ideal for projects with starting capital of
USD 50 million in AUM. This format is suitable for actively managed portfolios or single replications.
Unlicensed clients who would act as advisors would face higher entry hurdles. Talk to our experts to find out more.
Maltese FUND SOLUTION
Malta is a small yet stable European Union country in the Mediterranean with a Standard & Poor’s ‘A-‘ rating. The financial services industry in Malta meets all European standards and is supervised by the Malta Financial Services Authority (“MFSA”). The country has undersigned over 70 international double-taxation agreements.
The Maltese Professional Investor Fund (PIF) is among the few EU-regulated collective investment vehicles that allow for investment in Virtual Financial Assets and therefore enable you to run a Crypto Fund due to their low investment restrictions.
This format, similar to that of a hedge fund, will not benefit from passporting rights within the EU/EEA according to the Alternative Investment Fund Managers (AIFM) Directives.
The PIF is subject to private placement and only qualified investors are eligible, as specified by the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA).
A PIF exceeding EUR 100 million must become a full-fledged AIF and appoint a depositary and an AIFM.
Luxembourg FUND SOLUTIONS
Luxembourg is considered as a prime location for alternative investment funds and is indisputably the largest Investment Fund center in Europe and the second largest in the world after the US.
+ International orientation, excellence and stability
+ Luxembourg is a AAA-rated economy.
+ Luxembourg funds offer investors the highest quality standards (state of the art)
The Luxembourg Reserved Alternative Investment Fund (RAIF) is a very flexible AIFMD-compliant fund and benefits from passporting advantages for distribution to professional investors across Europe as specified under MIFID. This format is suitable for larger actively managed portfolios starting from EUR 30 Mio on Bankables in AUM and EUR 50-60 Mio in AUM on Non-Bankables.
Licensed clients or funds with a very large starting amount could also benefit from all-in pricing, depending on the case. Talk to our experts to learn more.
Tokenizing Securities
Security Token Offerings (STOs) revolutionize the way you issue company shares, debt, or financial instruments. While local laws still apply to issuing companies, STOs offer an innovative format that benefits all involved stakeholders and extends your reach to a new generation of investors by enabling fractional ownership shares held in their crypto wallets.
Thanks to blockchain technology, share registers and shareholder communication can be handled in a fully digitalized way. Smart contracts grant ownership to authorized investors only and ensure flawless secondary settlement between buyers and sellers.
By tokenizing a security, you reduce settlement risks as well as the complexity and bureaucracy of managing your securities.
