OSIF will inform IWMs, trustees and trade assayers, members or non-members of ARIF, from the entry into force of the law until they obtain their licence from FINMA.
The vocation of OSIF will be to:
Supervise and follow-up with the FINMA license application procedures
Answer your questions about the application procedures for supervision by OSIF and for obtaining the FINMA license.
Supervision of wealth managers, trustees and commercial testers.
Relying on the know-how acquired over two decades of supervising financial intermediaries subject to the AMLA.
Promoting in-service training
ARIF has anticipated the training obligations that the LSFin/LEFin will place on IWMs as from 2020 by giving these financial intermediaries the option of embarking now on a programme that will train/prepare them for SAQ-CWMA certification. This programme, which was set up in partnership with the Institute for Studies in Finance and Banking (ISFB), will be available to them from January 2019.
