You have a problem with your fund (collective investment scheme)

If your issue concerns a Swiss collective investment scheme or its agents, SFMA can review whether the provider has complied with the relevant supervisory rules.

Swiss and foreign funds

For Swiss collective investment schemes, SFMA can examine suspected breaches of financial-market law or professional duties. For foreign funds offered in Switzerland, the principal supervisor is generally the foreign authority, so SFMA’s possible measures are more limited.

What SFMA can do

If there are grounds to suspect a regulatory breach, SFMA can seek clarification and take appropriate measures if the suspicion is confirmed. It cannot award damages or act as the client’s representative in a private dispute.

What to include

A useful report identifies the fund, provider, agent, documents, dates, communications and the specific facts that appear irregular. Attach copies where possible.
