Nature of Activities and Regulatory Status
Meye Asset Management is a Swiss business operating under a commercial name that reflects its positioning within the financial and asset-management advisory sector.
The designation “Asset Management” is used as a commercial and market-facing name and should not, by itself, be interpreted as indicating that Meye Asset Management operates as a discretionary portfolio manager, fund manager or other FINMA-licensed financial institution.
Meye Asset Management’s activities primarily focus on financial advisory, strategic consulting, transaction support, investment-related analysis, client assistance and representation, depending on the nature and scope of each individual mandate.
The business does not present itself as a FINMA-licensed portfolio manager or fund manager. The regulatory status applicable to any particular activity depends on the nature, scope and structure of the mandate concerned and on the applicable Swiss regulatory framework.
From time to time, Meye Asset Management may receive specific, limited and mandate-based authority from a client to participate in discussions, communications or negotiations on the client’s behalf. Such mandates are defined by their specific purpose and scope and do not, by themselves, constitute a general discretionary portfolio-management mandate. Any authority must be assessed according to its actual scope and the activity carried out.
Accordingly, references to “Meye Asset Management” should be understood in the context of the business’s advisory, consulting, transaction-support and representation activities, rather than as a representation that the business is a FINMA-licensed portfolio manager.
FINMA authorisation requirements depend on the specific regulated activity being carried out. Portfolio managers carrying out their activities on a commercial basis require a FINMA licence. Other financial activities may be subject to different requirements according to their nature and structure. Describing an activity as advisory or a mandate as limited does not, by itself, determine its regulatory classification.
This statement clarifies the nature of Meye Asset Management’s activities and is not a legal determination of the regulatory classification of any individual mandate.
