Become a partner

As of January 1, 2023, as an independent asset manager and family office in Switzerland, you must comply with a variety of personnel, financial, and organizational requirements due to the new legislation under FIDLEG and FINIG. As a service company, we perform management, coordination, and control functions for your partner company and provide central services in the areas of Legal, Compliance & Risk, Fiduciary & Accounting, and HR & Administration and IT.

As an asset manager, you remain entrepreneurially independent, act autonomously, and can fully focus on your core business – client care. Aquila AG will remain in the background, supporting you.

Your three options

Establishment of your own company

The Aquila team supports you throughout the entire lifecycle – from company formation and setting up a modern IT infrastructure, to FINMA licensing and registration with various authorities and insurance companies. We also offer the perfect solution for sole proprietorships and, through a FINMA-approved delegation agreement, provide the necessary representation required by FINIG if no other representation solution is available or desired.

Join an existing company as a partner

We guide you through all the necessary steps of onboarding into the company. By joining, you will benefit from the company's existing structure, as well as the entire range of services offered by Aquila AG.

Integration of an existing company

We integrate you into our group setup and enroll you in our professional liability insurance and ombudsman office. As a new Aquila partner company, you will receive our full all-round service without giving up your usual entrepreneurial freedoms. You become part of the Aquila community and have the opportunity to exchange ideas with more than 85 other asset management companies and thus benefit from the know-how of the largest EAM network in Switzerland.
