Who may manage wealth in Vevey-Montreux?
In Switzerland, managing third-party assets on a professional basis requires a FINMA licence. The framework depends on the structure:
- private banks are licensed under the Banking Act and supervised directly by FINMA;
- independent asset managers and trustees are licensed under FinIA and supervised day to day by a supervisory organisation;
- multi-family offices managing third-party assets generally fall under the same regime as portfolio managers.
This directory only lists institutions that appear in a public FINMA register, with their UID number.

Minimum investment found in Vevey-Montreux
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.

Private bank or independent asset manager?
The main difference is custody: a private bank holds the assets itself, while with an independent asset manager they stay at the custodian bank chosen by the client, the manager holding only a management power of attorney. Both are licensed by FINMA, but the bank is supervised directly by FINMA and the manager by a supervisory organisation. Minimum investments and fee models vary from one firm to another: the profiles and our data show what each one publishes.

Frequently asked questions
How many wealth managers are licensed in Vevey-Montreux?
According to FINMA's public list, 6 firms in this category have its registered office in Vevey-Montreux. Each profile shows the UID number, the licence and the date it was checked.
How do I check that a wealth manager is FINMA-licensed?
FINMA publishes the list of authorised institutions on finma.ch. Search for the firm's name or UID number; for portfolio managers and trustees the list also names the supervisory organisation. Our profiles show that data with its date.
What is the minimum investment to open a mandate?
Each firm sets it freely and many do not publish it. We only show a minimum when the provider publishes or confirms it, with its source; the distribution we found is shown above on this page.
How are wealth managers paid?
Most often through an annual fee as a percentage of assets managed, sometimes a flat fee, hourly fees or a performance fee. FinSA requires the client to be informed of costs and of any retrocession received from third parties before signing.
Does the independent manager hold my assets?
No. With an independent asset manager, the assets stay in an account in your name at a custodian bank; the manager usually holds a power of attorney limited to management.
