FINMA’s supervision of the asset and wealth management sector in Switzerland
Why this matters
The document is a speech by FINMA CEO Stefan Walter at a Ticino financial centre event. It covers asset and wealth management market data, supervisory escalation trends for Article 17 portfolio managers (7, 32, and 60 cases from 2023 to 2025), and recurring risk patterns. These include product suitability, client risk capacity, conflicts of interest, and retention of responsibility when risk management is outsourced. It refers to FINMA's June guidance on products in individual portfolio management and previews AI supervision. Because it is a speech with no formal rule text or deadlines, urgency is null. The topic tags reflect the emphasis on client conduct and suitability and on outsourcing of risk and compliance functions.
