FINMA, the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority, regulates its Asset Management Partner.
The 2008 Global Financial Crisis was a significant event that prompted me to investigate its causes while writing my thesis for my LLM in Law. The study concluded that the crisis resulted from regulatory capture by the financial industry at various levels, including the regulator, rating agencies, and supra-national organizations.
Through this experience, I realized the importance of maintaining a precise balance between economies of scale and independence. This distinction is the foundation and driving force behind Diamas.
At Diamas, we prioritize our client's interests by ensuring we never compromise our independence and always maintain a clear alignment with our clients.

STRIKING THE RIGHT BALANCE
Banks
Conflicted – Banks apply 3 types of fees. Custody, Trading and Advisory. If your advisor is in the bank then he has no incentive to get better custody or trading fees for you.
Structurally Biased – Your advisor depends on a structure that sells its own products and services. The structure is designed to promote its own products and services and therefore your advisor becomes biased.
EAMs
High Fixed Costs – The ever rising demands of regulation and compliance either oblige EAMs or External Asset Managers to pass such costs to their client or impose the need on EAMs to generate non client sources of revenue that render them conflicted.
