This one-hour webinar focuses on the upcoming rules and regulations related to the trading in derivatives with Swiss-based counterparties or the provision of financial services related to derivatives to Swiss-based clients on a pure cross-border basis, meaning without having a permanent establishment in Switzerland. Switzerland’s cross-border regulatory regime for foreign-based providers of financial services related to derivatives or counterparties to derivatives not having a permanent establishment in Switzerland has historically been almost unregulated. This is however about to change with the new regulatory regime. This webinar gives an overview of the new key Swiss regulations and the new rules and regulations arising therefrom.
