Compliance and risk management from a single provider

Portfolio managers must have risk management and internal control that ensure compliance with legal and internal rules. The law allows these tasks to be delegated to a qualified external body (Art. 21 FinIA). Peak Compliance takes over the entire second line of defence – compliance and risk management – with a clearly defined scope and at a monthly fixed price, which you receive with the proposal after the needs assessment. The board and executive management receive clear, regular reports, while you focus on clients and portfolio management.
