Swiss Regulation

Sorry for the saying the same thing twice but I wanted to reach a wider audience. I know there are a lot of firms in Switzerland these days advertising swiss regulation. Does anyone know anything about regulation in Switzerland? Is there a place you can do background checks on swiss firms? Anyone that has any info thanks. And all you swiss brokers out there feel free to comment!

hello swiss brokers? Any comments on your regulatory status?

Long story short, while being Regulated in Switzerland sounds nice, I haven't seen any extra protection or opportunities for even segregated funds. Worst of all it seems when the firms do go under you are SOL as its impossible to contact anyone from regulators to the firm itself.

thanks, it looks like swiss regulation is for the birds. anyone disagree?

Swiss regulatory status for fx is a myth.
The cost to set up a swiss brokerage is only 175000 CHF (Lawyers-capital-office) .
