Jurisdiction of the Swiss Federal Government makes it mandatory for an Asset Management Company to become a member of a SRO (Self Regulatory Organisation). This organisation is charged with monitoring strict compliance with the Swiss anti money-laundering legislation, one of the toughest in the world, to quote a leading CEO of a Swiss bank.

Rüegg Asset Management AG has chosen to join the Swiss Association of Asset Managers. This Association was founded more than 20 years ago and, according to their executives, it has never experienced any major problems, due to the rigid enforcement of its rules and guidelines. Among others, the guidelines covering charges and fees ensure against abuses and profiteering. Furthermore, the Association pre-examines submitted asset management agreements, provides two qualified economists and legal counselling for the asset managers, and holds monthly meetings to encourage exchange of ideas and information.
