SUPERVISORY STATUS
DIAMAS Finance Sarl (“DIAMAS”) is a SRO-Member of SO-FIT (Organisme de Surveillance pour Intermédiaires Financiers & Trustees) – an officially recognised self-regulatory organisation (SRO) according to the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA).
Ref: 1425
2. client segmentation
FinSA differentiates between the following client classifications: “retail clients”, “professional clients” and “institutional clients”. Each classification is assigned a different level of investor protection. While retail clients are afforded the highest level of protection, institutional clients are afforded the lowest level of investor protection.
DIAMAS provides financial services exclusively to professional clients and institutional clients.
Client classification depends mainly on knowledge & experience and on the financial situation for private clients. Corporate clients are normally classified through their size or regulatory status.
2.1 institutional clients
Classification as an institutional client means in particular that:
-
The rules of conduct as laid down in chapter 2 of the FInSA do not apply.
-
Institutional clients are partially or completely exempted from investor protection according to the Swiss Collective Investment Scheme Act.
2.2 professional clients
Classification as professional client means in particular that:
-
Information about product risk is provided to professional clients in less detail (in particular no Key Information Document must be provided to professional clients).
-
When conducting a suitability and / or appropriateness test, DIAMAS may assume that the professional client has the relevant knowledge and experience and is financially able to bear the risks associated with the financial instrument / financial service.
-
Professional clients are partially or completely exempted from investor protection according to the Swiss Collective Investment Scheme Act.
2.3 qualified investor
Based on management, advisory or consulting contracts DIAMAS enters with its clients, the latter are deemed to be qualified investors within the meaning of the Swiss Collective Investment Schemes Act (CISA).
3. suitability and appropriateness
As DIAMAS renders its services exclusively to professional and institutional clients, it may assume that those clients possess the required knowledge and experience. Therefore, no appropriateness assessment is carried out. For professional clients, DIAMAS may further assume, that those clients are able to bear the financial risks associated with the financial service / financial instrument. Therefore, a suitability assessment limited to the review of the professional client’s investment objectives is carried out in case of advice.
4. wealth planning services
DIAMAS offers wealth planning services for high-net-worth individuals and families. In particular, wealth structuring, strategic and tactical asset allocation as well as consolidated reporting and performance monitoring are provided. Further DIAMAS supports with specific projects. Wealth planning services are not related to specific financial instruments and therefore not within the scope of FinSA.
5. costs and third party benefits
The financial services DIAMAS provides are subject to fees. Detailed overview is available in the relevant fee schedule as provided to the clients.
In principle DIAMAS will not receive benefits (e.g. retrocessions, kickbacks, finder's fees, etc.; “Compensation”) from third parties (banks, fund companies, issuers, etc.). Should DIAMAS nevertheless receive Compensation in a specific instance, the client will be entitled to claim such Compensation. Differing agreements between the client and DIAMAS shall remain reserved.
6. conflicts of interest
Conflicts of interest within the meaning of the FinSA exist if DIAMAS:
-
in breach of the principle of good faith and to the detriment of clients, can achieve a financial advantage for themselves or avoid a financial loss;
-
has an interest in the outcome of a financial service provided to clients which is contrary to that of the clients;
-
has a financial or other incentive, when providing financial services, to place the interests of certain clients above the interests of other clients;
-
in breach of the principle of good faith, receives from a third party an incentive in the form of financial or non-financial benefits or services in relation to a financial service provided to the client.
In order to identify conflicts of interest and to prevent these from having a detrimental effect on the client, DIAMAS has issued internal directives and namely taken the following organizational precautions:
-
DIAMAS has established an internal control function that continuously monitors its investment and employee transactions as well as compliance with market conduct rules. Through effective control and sanction measures, DIAMAS can thus avoid conflicts of interest.
-
DIAMAS obliges their employees to disclose mandates that may lead to a conflict of interest.
-
DIAMAS regularly trains employees and ensures that they have the necessary expertise.
-
DIAMAS consults with and obtains the approval of the internal control function in the event matters may involve a conflict of interest.
7. swiss ombudsman
DIAMAS constantly endeavours to improve its services. If, despite these efforts a client has a complaint and a mutual solution cannot be found, the client may initiate a mediation procedure through the ombudsman’s office. The procedure is free of charge and confidential. DIAMAS is affiliated to the Swiss Ombudsman Service.
