Appointing investigating agents
ROHMA may appoint an investigating agent to investigate circumstances relevant under supervisory law or to implement regulatory measures it has ordered. ROHMA defines the duties of the investigating agent(s) in the appointment order and determines the extent to which the investigating agent(s) may act in the place of the supervised entity's governing bodies. Investigating agent(s) are normally appointed by way of an interlocutory order.
...Subject to supervision
As well as supervising licensed commodity companies, ROHMA is also responsible for taking measures against companies and persons who engage in activities requiring a licence as prescribed in the Commodities Act. In such cases, ROHMA may appoint an independent and suitably qualified person (investigating agent) to investigate circumstances relevant for supervisory purposes. ROHMA provides information on individual proceedings where this is deemed necessary under supervisory law, in particular if the information is required to protect market participants or supervised companies, correct false or misleading information, or uphold Switzerland's reputation as a commodity trading centre.
The list below includes companies and persons for whom an investigating agent has been appointed and entered in the Commercial Register. Inclusion in the list does not automatically mean that a company or person has been engaging in illegal activities. It is intended to make the public aware that ROHMA is investigating the companies and persons shown to determine whether they should be subject to supervision. The list contains the names of the companies and persons in question, the entry date and other information that may also be of interest to civil society. Companies and persons will be removed from the list as soon as the necessary investigations have been completed and any changes that may be required have been made. Liquidations and bankruptcy proceedings ordered in connection with business activities being conducted without authorisation are communicated separately.
