It introduces a new federal transparency register which will centralise information relating to the beneficial owners (BOs) of entities subject to the Act. For portfolio managers, this register will constitute a new source of information in fulfilling their Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA) due diligence obligations. What information will this register contain? How will it document the BOs of trust structures or complex ownership chains? Under what circumstances will it include information on the control of foreign companies? And, above all, what will be the obligations of portfolio managers when the information in the register differs from that collected as part of the KYC process?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-70ws2g1-099be91a0c6ae43cee8cc7303480d5c8\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-70ws2g1-099be91a0c6ae43cee8cc7303480d5c8{\npadding-bottom:10px;\nfont-size:20px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-70ws2g1-099be91a0c6ae43cee8cc7303480d5c8 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-70ws2g1-099be91a0c6ae43cee8cc7303480d5c8 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:20px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-70ws2g1-099be91a0c6ae43cee8cc7303480d5c8 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n\n@media only screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 767px){ \n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-70ws2g1-099be91a0c6ae43cee8cc7303480d5c8 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:0.8em;\n}\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 479px){ \n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-70ws2g1-099be91a0c6ae43cee8cc7303480d5c8 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:0.8em;\n}\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-70ws2g1-099be91a0c6ae43cee8cc7303480d5c8 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_hr  av-inherit-size av-linked-heading'><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Why a new transparency register?<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-6oj2yzl-8cd68878e3fa5f17c9f87eff3b663635\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-6oj2yzl-8cd68878e3fa5f17c9f87eff3b663635{\nheight:30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-6oj2yzl-8cd68878e3fa5f17c9f87eff3b663635 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_heading  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-67gycht-80112b337a530e6b09ef63fe55f69879 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p class=\"text-justify\">The LETA forms part of the strengthening of Switzerland\u2019s framework for combating money laundering and financial crime, as well as the implementation of international standards on the transparency of legal entities.

This applies in particular to public limited companies (SA), private limited companies (S\u00e0rl), cooperatives, SICAVs, SICAFs and limited partnerships for collective investment schemes.

Certain foreign legal entities are also subject to the Act where (i) they have <strong>a branch registered in the Swiss Commercial Register<\/strong>, (ii) their <strong>effective management is in Switzerland,\u00a0<\/strong>or (iii) they own or acquire immovable property in Switzerland within the meaning of the ANRA (Federal Act on the Acquisition of Immovable Property in Switzerland by Foreign Non-Residents).<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-justify\">The category of companies with their effective management in Switzerland warrants particular attention. In this regard, the LETO refers to the concept of a registered office or effective management in Switzerland within the meaning of tax law. These companies will be required not only to identify and report their BOs, but also to appoint a representative or designate an address for service in Switzerland, and to keep a list of their interest holders in Switzerland.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-justify\">For the portfolio manager, the difficulty lies in the very nature of the criterion: according to the case law of the Swiss Supreme Court, <strong>the place of effective management is where decisions concerning day-to-day operations are taken and where the company is actually managed<\/strong>. A foreign company may therefore fall within the scope of the LETA without its status under the law being as immediately identifiable as that of a Swiss company entered in the commercial register.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-muuz6b8z-ca72ead20e7ce81d278dc7e9dada654a\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-muuz6b8z-ca72ead20e7ce81d278dc7e9dada654a{\npadding-bottom:10px;\nfont-size:20px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-muuz6b8z-ca72ead20e7ce81d278dc7e9dada654a .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-muuz6b8z-ca72ead20e7ce81d278dc7e9dada654a .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:20px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-muuz6b8z-ca72ead20e7ce81d278dc7e9dada654a .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n\n@media only screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 767px){ \n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-muuz6b8z-ca72ead20e7ce81d278dc7e9dada654a .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:0.8em;\n}\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 479px){ \n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-muuz6b8z-ca72ead20e7ce81d278dc7e9dada654a .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:0.8em;\n}\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-muuz6b8z-ca72ead20e7ce81d278dc7e9dada654a av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_hr  av-inherit-size av-linked-heading'><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >What is the impact of a trust within a company\u2019s chain of control?<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-4avkdd-188e5833bb651b6cc2d980f14c6d725f\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-4avkdd-188e5833bb651b6cc2d980f14c6d725f{\nheight:30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-4avkdd-188e5833bb651b6cc2d980f14c6d725f hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_heading  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-muuz6uqm-719da030a1c457942c3910e9d9ddd7d5 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p class=\"text-justify\">The law does not impose any specific reporting obligations on trusts. However, where a chain of ownership or control involves at least two intermediaries, a trust or a fiduciary relationship, the entity subject to the LETA must document this chain. If the chain of control involves a trust, the entity subject to the Act must identify the trust\u2019s relevant BOs, who, according to the Act, are: the <strong>settlor<\/strong>, the <strong>trustee<\/strong>, the <strong>protector<\/strong>, the<strong> beneficiary(ies),\u00a0<\/strong>and any other person who controls the trust in any other way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-justify\">For example, a company subject to the LETA and held by a trust will be required to report information concerning the trust\u2019s BOs to the transparency register. By contrast, the Swiss trustee of a trust that merely holds an account in Switzerland will not be subject to such obligation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-justify\">The situation is different where the trust is considered on a standalone basis. The LETA requires trustees domiciled or having their registered office in Switzerland, or administering a trust in Switzerland \u2013 where they are not already subject to the AMLA \u2013 to identify and verify the trust\u2019s BOs and to retain this information. However, in such a case, the trust\u2019s BOs do not need to be reported to the transparency register. The trustee is simply required to record and retain the information.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-justify\">This differentiated treatment of the obligations imposed on the company and those imposed on the trustee means that, where a trustee holds a bank account in its capacity as trustee of a trust, it is not required to disclose the names of the trust\u2019s BO to the register. By contrast, where the bank account is held by the trust through a Swiss company, or through a company whose effective management is in Switzerland, that company is required to disclose the names of the trust\u2019s BO to the register.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-muuz79t4-f3e9e526c2c580d69cbd0d7e053b459a\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-muuz79t4-f3e9e526c2c580d69cbd0d7e053b459a{\npadding-bottom:10px;\nfont-size:20px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-muuz79t4-f3e9e526c2c580d69cbd0d7e053b459a .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-muuz79t4-f3e9e526c2c580d69cbd0d7e053b459a .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:20px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-muuz79t4-f3e9e526c2c580d69cbd0d7e053b459a .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n\n@media only screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 767px){ \n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-muuz79t4-f3e9e526c2c580d69cbd0d7e053b459a .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:0.8em;\n}\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 479px){ \n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-muuz79t4-f3e9e526c2c580d69cbd0d7e053b459a .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:0.8em;\n}\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-muuz79t4-f3e9e526c2c580d69cbd0d7e053b459a av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-16  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_hr  av-inherit-size av-linked-heading'><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Can the portfolio manager rely on the transparency register?<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ta4ogx-1ee652353d7275b491090a62d7d47a35\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-ta4ogx-1ee652353d7275b491090a62d7d47a35{\nheight:30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-ta4ogx-1ee652353d7275b491090a62d7d47a35 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-17  el_after_av_heading  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-muuz7j2t-45ad3f9e7027fc64484e54a9b295e1f8 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p class=\"text-justify\"><strong>Yes, but subject to certain conditions.\u00a0<\/strong>Entries in the register are declaratory and do not have constitutive effect. The law nevertheless provides that a financial intermediary may rely on them where an examination of the BOs carried out in accordance with the AMLA, with the diligence required by the circumstances, reveals no anomalies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-justify\">The register therefore does not replace the AMLA due diligence procedures: it complements them. The law allows financial intermediaries to consult it to the extent necessary to fulfil their AMLA obligations, without, however, establishing a general obligation to consult it systematically at the start of each client relationship or during periodic reviews. That said, the absence of such a general obligation does not mean that consulting the register is always optional: depending on the circumstances and the level of risk associated with the business relationship, the general duty of diligence incumbent upon the financial intermediary under the AMLA may require consulting the register in order to verify or supplement the relevant information regarding the BO.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-justify\">It is precisely the comparison between the information in the register and that collected by the portfolio manager that may reveal a discrepancy.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-muuz7sww-a88f86bbfac48614211d0df625952a71\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-muuz7sww-a88f86bbfac48614211d0df625952a71{\npadding-bottom:10px;\nfont-size:20px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-muuz7sww-a88f86bbfac48614211d0df625952a71 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-muuz7sww-a88f86bbfac48614211d0df625952a71 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:20px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-muuz7sww-a88f86bbfac48614211d0df625952a71 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n\n@media only screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 767px){ \n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-muuz7sww-a88f86bbfac48614211d0df625952a71 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:0.8em;\n}\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 479px){ \n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-muuz7sww-a88f86bbfac48614211d0df625952a71 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:0.8em;\n}\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-muuz7sww-a88f86bbfac48614211d0df625952a71 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-19  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_hr  av-inherit-size av-linked-heading'><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Must every discrepancy be reported?<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-5l40am9-bcf9f857c3ae25b7e5d020e677380da2\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-5l40am9-bcf9f857c3ae25b7e5d020e677380da2{\nheight:30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-5l40am9-bcf9f857c3ae25b7e5d020e677380da2 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-20  el_after_av_heading  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-muuz82ze-cbf64a57a8a755c6d23f947b9eea783d '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p class=\"text-justify\">No. From<strong> 1st April 2027<\/strong>, the portfolio manager must report a discrepancy when it is likely to cast doubt on the accuracy, completeness or currency of the information relating to the BO and when it persists after the client has been contacted and given a reasonable period of time to resolve it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-justify\">In particular, the LETO excludes differences arising from the distinct definitions of the BO under the AMLA and the LETA, mere formal variations, or certain discrepancies concerning the chain of control that do not call into question the information relating to the BO.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-justify\">Where reporting is required, it must be made within 30 days.
