In Switzerland, independent asset managers are subject to anti-money laundering laws (AML) and a code of ethical conduct, and have to be accredited by an organization that verifies strict application (SRO: Self-Regulation Organ).

SAAM (Swiss Association of Asset Managers) is the leading SRO in Switzerland founded in 1986 with over 1’000 member organizations, including Vierny Partners who thereby guarantees strict adherence to professional regulations and codes of ethical conduct that govern the profession of the independent asset manager.
