<h3>Episode 1: «Inbound Cross-border Fund Offerings»</h3>

<h3>Episode 2: «Ansässigkeit»</h3>
<p>The FinSA newly regulates the cross-border provision of financial services in Switzerland. When is a foreign financial services provider considered to be based in Switzerland? Under which circumstances do its client advisors have to be registered in Switzerland? And what sanctions apply in case of non-compliance with these rules?</p>

<h3>Episode 3: «Reverse Solicitation»</h3>
<p>Financial services rendered by foreign financial services providers at a Swiss client’s own exclusive initiative are not subject to the Financial Services Act («reverse solicitation»). But what exactly are the conditions for the financial services provider to be able to rely on the exemption? And how does reverse solicitation play out within the context of the offering of financial instruments?</p>

<h3>Episode 6: «Retrozessionen»</h3>
