Product idea & objective

We capture your product idea in the context of target markets, strategy and investor structure. From this, we derive a viable investment form and the regulatory target markets.

Structuring design & conception

We develop a tax and regulatory-compliant structure. This includes the choice of legal form (e.g. SICAV, AMC, FCP, KmGK) and the review of regulatory feasibility.

Documentation & contract creation

We create legally sound and understandable fund documents, including prospectus, fund contract and distribution, administration and custodian bank agreements, adapted to your target markets.

Approval & communication with authorities

We guide you through national and international approval processes, from FINMA submission to coordination with foreign supervisory authorities.

Implementation & product launch

We support you with migration, onboarding and market launch. Your structure is ready to go - operationally functional, regulatorily tested and clearly documented.

Ongoing support & further development

After the launch, we support you with regulatory changes, product adjustments or liquidations, proactively and tailored to your structure.

We are here for you - competent, dedicated, reliable

Whether regulation, compliance, or digital transformation – we support financial service providers with practical advice, deep industry understanding, and clear orientation. Our experience is your advantage.
