Distribution in Switzerland has become more challenging since the liberal private placement regime became stricter with the amendment of the Swiss fund law in March last year. Alternative investment funds (AIFs) distributed in Switzerland will now need – subject to transition periods – a Swiss representative and a Swiss paying agent (in addition to UCITS funds).
UBS Fund Services Switzerland is already providing representative services to approx. 300 UCITS and is now widening its offering to AIF fund providers to support them in complying with the new regulations.
