FINMA CIS Returns
Effortless Compliance with FINMA CIS Returns
Reporting on Collective Investment Schemes (CIS) for the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) is a critical annual obligation for Swiss fund managers. This process can be particularly time-intensive, requiring the preparation of accurate, compliant returns ahead of the filing deadline. Addition Compliance simplifies this process by providing an outsourced reporting solution that handles all aspects of CIS returns, from data collation to preparation. All that’s left for the client is a final review and approval.
Streamlined CIS Reporting
Our service is designed to accommodate the varying needs of fund managers, whether data is sourced from internal teams or external providers. Addition Compliance takes care of preparing fully compliant returns, ensuring they meet FINMA’s latest technical requirements and submission standards. This helps our clients stay ahead of compliance deadlines, even during the busiest times of the year.
Extra Capacity for Busy Compliance Seasons
One of our clients, a Swiss fund manager, faced significant challenges in March, their busiest compliance month. Preparing CIS returns for multiple funds alongside other regulatory obligations left their team overstretched. Additionally, staying on top of FINMA’s evolving technical guidance added another layer of complexity to an already packed schedule.
To alleviate this, Addition Compliance provided a dedicated team to manage their CIS reporting. Our well-resourced delivery teams ensured that the client had enough support, even during the peak reporting period. We handled all aspects of the process, from sourcing and validating data to preparing the returns, allowing the client to focus on other priorities.
