Document background
The Placement Agent Agreement Private Equity Fund is a crucial document used when a private equity fund seeks to engage professional intermediaries to assist in raising capital from investors. This agreement, governed by Swiss law, is particularly important in the Swiss financial services landscape where strict regulatory oversight exists under FinSA/FIDLEG and related regulations. The document establishes the legal framework for the placement agent's activities, including investor targeting, marketing restrictions, regulatory compliance requirements, compensation structures, and reporting obligations. It is essential for funds seeking to raise capital in or from Switzerland and must carefully balance commercial objectives with regulatory compliance, particularly regarding investor protection and financial intermediary obligations under Swiss law.
