Bruegger Invest Limited is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) under Firm Reference Number 190436 to provide advisory and arranging investment services, with the restriction that we may control but not hold client money (see FCA Register). Registered in England and Wales with Company Number 03463931. Registered office: 7 New Quebec Street, London W1H 7RH, England.
Our services are offered exclusively to eligible clients, as defined under the Swiss Financial Services Act (FinSA) and FCA Conduct of Business Sourcebook (COBS). We do not provide services to retail clients. Through the Interactive Brokers (IBKR) Advisor Portal, we offer advisory and discretionary portfolio management for individual client accounts. Client funds are held in segregated accounts by a third-party broker (e.g., Interactive Brokers Switzerland for Swiss residents). While we are a Small Authorised UK AIFM, this is not applicable to our current offerings, which focus exclusively on individual portfolio management.
This ensures compliance with both UK and Swiss regulations, including the UK-Switzerland Financial Services Agreement, which facilitates cross-border services for eligible clients without a Swiss branch. We are exempt from affiliation with a Swiss ombudsman (FinSA Art. 77) and registration in the Swiss client adviser register (FinSA Art. 31) due to our focus on eligible clients.
Tax Clarification: Classification as an eligible client for regulatory purposes does not affect your tax status under Swiss or other jurisdictions’ tax laws. Clients are advised to consult a tax professional to understand their obligations, including any potential income tax on capital gains.
