What licence does a family office need?

A multi-family office managing the assets of several families carries out portfolio management for third parties: it generally needs a FINMA licence as a portfolio manager under FinIA and is supervised by a supervisory organisation.

A single-family office that only manages the assets of the family it belongs to is in principle not subject to a licence: it does not appear in FINMA registers and is not listed here. The firms on this page describe themselves as family offices and are licensed by FINMA.

Minimum investment found in Geneva

Few firms publish their minimum investment. We collect it from their website or from them and only show it with its source; until it is confirmed, the profile says "not disclosed". This section will show the distribution as soon as the first data comes in.

Fees found

Most managers charge an annual fee as a percentage of assets managed; others offer a flat fee, hourly fees or a performance fee. Custodian bank costs (custody fees, brokerage) usually come on top. We will publish the fee models found as soon as they are documented.
