📢 Neue Entwicklungen für den Schweizer Fondsmarkt Mit dem Limited Qualified Investor Fund (L-QIF) hat das Schweizer Recht eine innovative Fondskategorie für qualifizierte Anleger geschaffen. Diese bietet Fondsanbietern deutlich mehr Flexibilität und ermöglicht eine schnelle "Time to Market", da ein langwieriges FINMA-Genehmigungsverfahren entfällt. Das Ziel: Die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit des Fondsstandorts Schweiz nachhaltig zu stärken. Die kommenden Jahre werden zeigen, wie Fondsanbieter diese neuen Möglichkeiten nutzen und in welchen Bereichen durch das Risikomanagement und die Aufsichtspraxis der FINMA Grenzen gesetzt werden. 📄 Weitere Details finden Sie im vollständigen Artikel in der Aktuellen Juristischen Praxis (AJP). Herzliche Gratulation an unseren Partner Armin Kühne für diesen wertvollen Beitrag! 🎉 #ThisIsKellerhalsCarrard #LawyersInCharge #FINMA #Innovation #Finanzmarktrecht #Fond
