The institutions are required to provide data on exposures, leverage, liquidity, and counterparty risks of the administered or managed funds on an annual basis. The data collected is used for the monitoring of risks within the asset management industry, with a particular focus on liquidity risks and leverage.
The data collection is risk-based. The data is requested for authorized and non-authorized Swiss funds that have a NAV of at least CHF 500 million and all foreign funds managed by Swiss entities that have a NAV of at least CHF 500 million and follow an alternative investment strategy. This means that smaller funds with no impact on system stability are not included in the data collection.
The information refers to the cut-off date of 31 December each year. The data collection is published in the EHP in early December and the deadline for submission is the end of March of the following year.
