Media ReleaseIntroducti<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> a duty <strong>of</strong> licens<strong>in</strong>g for Trustees <strong>in</strong> Switzerland:Swiss Associati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> Trust Companies passes a positi<strong>on</strong> paperc<strong>on</strong>ta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g proposals <strong>on</strong> regulati<strong>on</strong>Zug, June 19, 2012 - At <strong>the</strong> occasi<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir general meet<strong>in</strong>g end <strong>of</strong> May 2012, <strong>the</strong>Members <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Swiss Associati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> Trust Companies (<str<strong>on</strong>g>SATC</str<strong>on</strong>g>) passed an extensivepositi<strong>on</strong> paper <strong>on</strong> regulat<strong>in</strong>g trust services.Ever s<strong>in</strong>ce <strong>the</strong> Hague agreement was ratified, trusts have been a reality <strong>in</strong> Switzerland.Despite this fact <strong>the</strong>re has been a lack <strong>of</strong> rules regulat<strong>in</strong>g supervisi<strong>on</strong> and organizati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong><strong>trustees</strong>. This has proved to be a disadvantage <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>ternati<strong>on</strong>al competitiveness andharbours risks for <strong>the</strong> Swiss f<strong>in</strong>ancial market place, which led to <strong>the</strong> formati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>SATC</str<strong>on</strong>g><strong>in</strong> 2007. <str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> aim <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> associati<strong>on</strong> is to safeguard high quality service as well asorganisati<strong>on</strong>al and ethic standards that apply to <strong>the</strong>ir members <strong>on</strong>ly. S<strong>in</strong>ce it was founded,<str<strong>on</strong>g>SATC</str<strong>on</strong>g> has been <strong>in</strong> regular c<strong>on</strong>tact with <strong>the</strong> authorities as well as with self-regulatoryorganisati<strong>on</strong>s and <strong>in</strong>dustry associati<strong>on</strong>s, such as <strong>the</strong> Society <strong>of</strong> Trust and EstatePractiti<strong>on</strong>ers (<strong>STEP</strong>).Protecti<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>terests <strong>of</strong> trust beneficiaries<str<strong>on</strong>g>SATC</str<strong>on</strong>g>’s positi<strong>on</strong> paper c<strong>on</strong>ta<strong>in</strong>s c<strong>on</strong>crete proposals for rules c<strong>on</strong>cern<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> licens<strong>in</strong>g andorganisati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>trustees</strong> that are to be applied parallel to <strong>the</strong> exist<strong>in</strong>g rules c<strong>on</strong>cern<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong>preventi<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> m<strong>on</strong>ey launder<strong>in</strong>g. <str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> aim <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> additi<strong>on</strong>al regulati<strong>on</strong> is to protect <strong>the</strong>legitimate <strong>in</strong>terests <strong>of</strong> trust beneficiaries <strong>in</strong> a similar way to <strong>the</strong> rules protect<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>vestors <strong>in</strong><strong>the</strong> bank<strong>in</strong>g and asset management sector. As <strong>the</strong> legitimate owner a trustee can disposedirectly <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> assets <strong>of</strong> a trust. “<str<strong>on</strong>g>SATC</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong>siders that <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>troducti<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> protectivemechanisms is <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> utmost importance for <strong>the</strong> Swiss f<strong>in</strong>ancial market place”, expla<strong>in</strong>sAlexandre v<strong>on</strong> Heeren, President <strong>of</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>SATC</str<strong>on</strong>g>.A work<strong>in</strong>g team c<strong>on</strong>sist<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> members <strong>of</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>SATC</str<strong>on</strong>g> analysed <strong>the</strong> most important rules c<strong>on</strong>cern<strong>in</strong>g<strong>trustees</strong> applied abroad and <strong>the</strong>n derived corresp<strong>on</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g rules to be applied <strong>in</strong>Switzerland. <str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> most challeng<strong>in</strong>g aspect was to separate <strong>the</strong> bus<strong>in</strong>ess <strong>of</strong> <strong>trustees</strong>hipfrom <strong>the</strong> adm<strong>in</strong>istrati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> companies as comm<strong>on</strong>ly <strong>of</strong>fered by Swiss fiduciary <strong>of</strong>fices. In itspresent form, <strong>the</strong> positi<strong>on</strong> paper solely applies to Swiss companies <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir functi<strong>on</strong> as <strong>trustees</strong>,i.e. comm<strong>on</strong> fiduciaries and natural pers<strong>on</strong>s are not <strong>in</strong>cluded as <strong>trustees</strong>. Fur<strong>the</strong>r, itwas necessary to separate <strong>the</strong> proposed rules c<strong>on</strong>cern<strong>in</strong>g <strong>trustees</strong> from <strong>the</strong> exist<strong>in</strong>g rulesfor <strong>the</strong> fight aga<strong>in</strong>st m<strong>on</strong>ey launder<strong>in</strong>g.Core elements <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> regulati<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>SATC</str<strong>on</strong>g>’s positi<strong>on</strong> paper lists three ma<strong>in</strong> areas that <strong>the</strong> legislator ought to c<strong>on</strong>sider <strong>in</strong> <strong>future</strong>rules and regulati<strong>on</strong>s c<strong>on</strong>cern<strong>in</strong>g <strong>trustees</strong>:1. Duty <strong>of</strong> licens<strong>in</strong>g for <strong>trustees</strong>: this c<strong>on</strong>ta<strong>in</strong>s <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>troducti<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> rules for an adequatem<strong>in</strong>imal capital, appropriate <strong>in</strong>surance coverage and suitable organizati<strong>on</strong>al structures,<strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> availability <strong>of</strong> technical know-how.2. Duty <strong>of</strong> documentati<strong>on</strong>: guarantee<strong>in</strong>g that a trustee’s decisi<strong>on</strong>s can be rec<strong>on</strong>structed


and understood and that <strong>on</strong>e can check whe<strong>the</strong>r organizati<strong>on</strong>al standards have beenma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong>ed.3. C<strong>on</strong>trol: <str<strong>on</strong>g>SATC</str<strong>on</strong>g> suggest delegat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> m<strong>on</strong>itor<strong>in</strong>g functi<strong>on</strong> to an exist<strong>in</strong>g auditor toavoid any c<strong>on</strong>flict with, for example <strong>the</strong> law <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> fight aga<strong>in</strong>st m<strong>on</strong>ey launder<strong>in</strong>g,and to make sure that <strong>trustees</strong> are not unduly burdened with additi<strong>on</strong>al tasks.Any violati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>SATC</str<strong>on</strong>g> rules is to be sancti<strong>on</strong>ed.<str<strong>on</strong>g>SATC</str<strong>on</strong>g>’s general assembly mandated a work<strong>in</strong>g team under <strong>the</strong> leadership <strong>of</strong> MarkBarmes, Lenz & Staehel<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong> Geneva, to work out c<strong>on</strong>crete proposals c<strong>on</strong>cern<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong>implementati<strong>on</strong>. Until <strong>the</strong> necessary rules have been <strong>in</strong>troduced by <strong>the</strong> legislative body,<strong>the</strong> standards are to be implemented by means <strong>of</strong> self-regulati<strong>on</strong>. Members <strong>of</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>SATC</str<strong>on</strong>g>will<strong>in</strong>gly subject <strong>the</strong>mselves to rules that are stricter than <strong>the</strong> current <strong>on</strong>es set up by <strong>the</strong>law. <str<strong>on</strong>g>SATC</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>in</strong>tends to ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong> close c<strong>on</strong>tact with all parties c<strong>on</strong>cerned and wishes toc<strong>on</strong>tribute to a secure f<strong>in</strong>ancial market place.Changes <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> Executive BoardAt <strong>the</strong> AGM Alexandre v<strong>on</strong> Heeren <strong>of</strong> Mandaris AG <strong>in</strong> Basle replaced <strong>the</strong> outgo<strong>in</strong>g (andfound<strong>in</strong>g) Chairman Kecia Barkawi-Hauser <strong>of</strong> VALUEworks AG <strong>in</strong> Zürich. <str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> newTreasurer will be Rodney Hodges <strong>of</strong> Rawl<strong>in</strong>s<strong>on</strong> & Hunter Trustees SA, Geneva, who replacesAdrian Escher <strong>of</strong> Kendris AG, Zürich.

E<strong>in</strong>führung e<strong>in</strong>er Lizensierungspflicht für Trustees <strong>in</strong> der SchweizMedienmitteilungSwiss Associati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> Trust Companies verabschiedetPositi<strong>on</strong>spapier mit Vorschlägen zur RegulierungZug, 19. Juni 2012 - Ende Mai 2012 verabschiedeten die Mitglieder der SwissAssociati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> Trust Companies (<str<strong>on</strong>g>SATC</str<strong>on</strong>g>) anlässlich der Generalversammlung e<strong>in</strong>umfassendes Positi<strong>on</strong>spapier zur Regulierung v<strong>on</strong> Trust-Dienstleistungen.Spätestens seit der Ratifizierung des Haager Trust-Übere<strong>in</strong>kommens s<strong>in</strong>d Trusts <strong>in</strong> derSchweiz e<strong>in</strong>e Realität. Ungeachtet dessen fehlt es an Aufsichts- und Organisati<strong>on</strong>sregelnfür Trustees. Dies erweist sich im <strong>in</strong>ternati<strong>on</strong>alen Wettbewerb als Nachteil und birgtRisiken für die Reputati<strong>on</strong> des Schweizer F<strong>in</strong>anzplatzes, was 2007 zur Gründung der<str<strong>on</strong>g>SATC</str<strong>on</strong>g> führte. Das Ziel des Verbands ist sei<strong>the</strong>r die Sicherstellung hoher Service-Qualitätsowie organisatorischer und ethischer Standards mittels eigener, nur für dessen Mitgliedergeltender Richtl<strong>in</strong>ien. Seit ihrer Gründung pflegt die <str<strong>on</strong>g>SATC</str<strong>on</strong>g> den regelmässigen Austauschmit den Behörden, Selbstregulierungs- und Branchenorganisati<strong>on</strong>en wie der Society <strong>of</strong>Trust and Estate Practiti<strong>on</strong>ers (<strong>STEP</strong>).Schutz der TrustbegünstigtenDas <str<strong>on</strong>g>SATC</str<strong>on</strong>g>-Positi<strong>on</strong>spapier schlägt k<strong>on</strong>krete Lizenzierungs- und Organisati<strong>on</strong>svorschriftenfür Trustees vor, welche parallel zu den bestehenden Regeln zur Geldwäschereipräventi<strong>on</strong>gelten sollen. Die zusätzliche Regulierung hat zum Ziel, die berechtigten Interessen v<strong>on</strong>Trustbegünstigten zu schützen, analog den Regeln zum Anlegerschutz im Bereich derBanken und Vermögensverwalter. Als rechtlicher Eigentümer kann e<strong>in</strong> Trustee weitgehenddirekt über Trustvermögen verfügen. “Die E<strong>in</strong>führung entsprechender Schutzmechanismenist aus der Sicht der <str<strong>on</strong>g>SATC</str<strong>on</strong>g> für den F<strong>in</strong>anzplatz Schweiz v<strong>on</strong> hoher Bedeutung“, erklärtAlexandre v<strong>on</strong> Heeren, Präsident der <str<strong>on</strong>g>SATC</str<strong>on</strong>g>.E<strong>in</strong>e aus <str<strong>on</strong>g>SATC</str<strong>on</strong>g>-Mitgliedern bestehende Arbeitsgruppe analysierte die bedeutendstenausländischen Lizenzierungsregeln für Trustees und erarbeitete daraus e<strong>in</strong>e umfassendeEmpfehlung für e<strong>in</strong>e entsprechende Regulierung <strong>in</strong> der Schweiz. E<strong>in</strong>e bes<strong>on</strong>dere Herausforderungstellte dabei die Abgrenzung der Trustee-Tätigkeit gegenüber der imschweizerischen Treuhandwesen verbreiteten Verwaltung v<strong>on</strong> Gesellschaften dar. DasPositi<strong>on</strong>spapier zielt <strong>in</strong> se<strong>in</strong>er heutigen Form ausschliesslich auf die als Trustee tätigenSchweizer Gesellschaften ab, d.h. „allgeme<strong>in</strong>e“ Treuhänder und natürliche Pers<strong>on</strong>en s<strong>in</strong>dals Trustees nicht betr<strong>of</strong>fen. Es galt zudem, die vorgeschlagene Trustee-Regulierung v<strong>on</strong>den bestehenden Regeln zur Geldwäschereibekämpfung abzugrenzen.Kernpunkte der RegulierungDas <str<strong>on</strong>g>SATC</str<strong>on</strong>g>-Positi<strong>on</strong>spapier nennt drei Hauptbereiche, welche vom Gesetzgeber im Rahmene<strong>in</strong>er zukünftigen Trustee-Regulierung beachtet werden sollten:1. Lizenzierungspflicht für Trustees: Dies be<strong>in</strong>haltet die E<strong>in</strong>führung v<strong>on</strong> Vorschriften


über e<strong>in</strong> angemessenes M<strong>in</strong>destkapital, genügenden Versicherungsschutz und geeigneteorganisatorische Strukturen, <strong>in</strong>klusive Fachwissen.2. Dokumentati<strong>on</strong>spflichten: Sie bezwecken unter anderem die Nachvollziehbarkeit v<strong>on</strong>Trustee-Entscheidungen und die K<strong>on</strong>trolle der E<strong>in</strong>haltung der Organisati<strong>on</strong>sstandards.3. K<strong>on</strong>trolle: Um Überschneidungen, z.B. mit dem Geldwäschereigesetz, und unnötigezusätzliche Belastungen der Trustees zu vermeiden, wird vorgeschlagen, die K<strong>on</strong>trollaufgabenan die bestehenden Revisi<strong>on</strong>sbeauftragen (ordentliche Revisi<strong>on</strong>sstelleoder Revisi<strong>on</strong> gemäss Geldwäschereigesetz) zu delegieren.E<strong>in</strong>e Verletzung der Standesregeln soll an Sankti<strong>on</strong>en gekoppelt se<strong>in</strong>.Die Generalversammlung der <str<strong>on</strong>g>SATC</str<strong>on</strong>g> beauftragte e<strong>in</strong>e Arbeitsgruppe unter der Leitung v<strong>on</strong>Mark Barmes, Lenz & Staehel<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong> Genf, k<strong>on</strong>krete Vorschläge zur Implementierung zuerarbeiten. Die Umsetzung der Standards soll mangels gesetzlicher Regelung <strong>in</strong> Form derSelbstregulierung erfolgen. Die <str<strong>on</strong>g>SATC</str<strong>on</strong>g>-Mitglieder unterwerfen sich dabei freiwilligstrengeren Regeln, als sie der Gesetzgeber heute vorsieht. Die <str<strong>on</strong>g>SATC</str<strong>on</strong>g> wird den engenK<strong>on</strong>takt mit allen Interessenvertretern weiterh<strong>in</strong> pflegen und ihren Beitrag zu Gunsten e<strong>in</strong>essicheren F<strong>in</strong>anzplatzes leisten.Mutati<strong>on</strong>en im VorstandDie Generalversammlung verabschiedete die teilweise Neubesetzung des <str<strong>on</strong>g>SATC</str<strong>on</strong>g>-Vorstands. Kecia Barkawi-Hauser, VALUEworks AG <strong>in</strong> Zürich, welche seit der Gründungder <str<strong>on</strong>g>SATC</str<strong>on</strong>g> als Präsident<strong>in</strong> amtiert hatte, übergab den Vorsitz an Alexandre v<strong>on</strong> Heeren,Mandaris AG <strong>in</strong> Basel. Rodney Hodges, Rawl<strong>in</strong>s<strong>on</strong> & Hunter Trustees SA <strong>in</strong> Genf,übernahm die Leitung der F<strong>in</strong>anzen vom scheidenden Vorstandsmitglied Adrian Escher,Kendris AG <strong>in</strong> Zürich. Neu wurden zudem Patrick Renaud, Kendris SA <strong>in</strong> Genf, und RobertDarl<strong>in</strong>gt<strong>on</strong>, Barclaytrust (Suisse) SA <strong>in</strong> Genf, <strong>in</strong> den Vorstand gewählt.Weiterführende Informati<strong>on</strong>en zur <str<strong>on</strong>g>SATC</str<strong>on</strong>g> sowie das Positi<strong>on</strong>spapier zur Regulierung v<strong>on</strong>Trust-Dienstleistungen s<strong>in</strong>d unter www.satc.ch verfügbar.K<strong>on</strong>taktFür zusätzliche Auskünfte wenden Sie sich bitte an das <str<strong>on</strong>g>SATC</str<strong>on</strong>g> Sekretariat:Alexandre v<strong>on</strong> Heeren, Baarerstrasse 75, 6302 ZugTel: +41 (0)41 727 05 25Fax: +41 (0)41 727 05 21<strong>in</strong>fo@satc.ch
