Document background
The Private Equity Agreement serves as the foundational document for establishing and operating a private equity fund under Swiss law. It is typically used when setting up a new investment vehicle that will raise capital from multiple investors for the purpose of making private equity investments. The agreement comprehensively addresses all aspects of the fund's operation, including capital commitments, investment strategy, governance structure, economic arrangements, and regulatory compliance. Under Swiss jurisdiction, particular attention must be paid to compliance with the Collective Investment Schemes Act (CISA), Financial Services Act (FinSA), and Financial Institutions Act (FinIA). The document needs to balance the interests of investors (Limited Partners) and fund managers (General Partner) while ensuring adherence to Swiss regulatory requirements and market standards for private equity investments.
