On 6 July 2020, OSIF was granted FINMA approval as a supervisory organisation for portfolio managers and trustees. You can therefore now begin the process of becoming affiliated to OSIF and then obtain your FINMA authorization.
OSIF examines your file and makes sure that it is complete and that it meets the conditions for authorization (compliance with the FinIA, the AML and if applicable, the FinSA).

If the file is complete and the conditions for authorization have been met, OSIF will confirm your affiliation to OSIF.
FINMA then examines your file and ensures that it meets the conditions for authorization.

If FINMA is satisfied that your application meets the conditions for authorization, it will notify you of its decision to grant you the licence to act as a portfolio manager/Trustee.
