( § FAQ — COMMON QUESTIONS )
Common questions, answered plainly.
The key questions about OwnMore — what it is, how investing works, who can take part and the legal framework it operates within. Stated honestly, without marketing.
What is OwnMore?
OwnMore is Swiss infrastructure for private markets — the layer through which professional and qualified investors review, structure, sign, settle and hold real-estate and private-market ownership. OwnMore is not a fund and not an asset manager: investors act for themselves through the platform and hand over no representation. The platform is the tool, not the trustee.
How does investing work?
The flow has clear steps: eligibility check, qualification (KYC/AML), access to the dealroom with the vetted property documents, reservation, digital signing of the contract, and settlement. Every step is signed on a Swiss-resident surface and recorded in a SHA-256 audit chain. Reservation to closing targets 5–7 days rather than the industry-standard weeks.
Who can invest?
OwnMore is for professional and qualified investors under the Swiss Financial Services Act (FinSA) — institutional investors and family offices under Art. 10, and qualified investors under Art. 3. Every application is reviewed individually (KYC/AML) before access to deals is granted. It is not a public retail offering.
What is the bidding process?
For deals with an auction, qualified investors place a sealed bid through the platform. A minimum bid is shown only when one is set. Bids are binding within the defined scope; the award, the reservation and the subsequent contract signing run fully digitally and are logged in the audit chain. The platform executes the process — it does not decide for the investor.
Is OwnMore regulated?
OwnMore operates within Swiss financial-market law: FinSA (Art. 10 / Art. 3), AML/GwG (anti-money-laundering) and DSG (data protection). OwnMore is infrastructure and does not act as a FINMA-licensed financial intermediary itself; where a licence or supervised custody is required, this is provided through appropriately regulated Swiss partners. The connection to FINMA-supervised Swiss custody is in preparation.
Who holds the assets and documents?
Assets are held through FINMA-supervised Swiss custody; that connection is in preparation. Documents, hashes and identity data never leave Switzerland or the EU. Every relevant step is cryptographically chained (SHA-256), so the history stays verifiable.
What does it cost?
Access is structured by membership tier (institutional, family office, qualified) with a one-time onboarding fee and an annual fee; the applicable CHF amounts are shown on the membership page. The terms of individual transactions are disclosed per deal before a bid or reservation becomes binding. No hidden fees.
Can international investors take part?
Yes. OwnMore runs a global investor network while keeping execution anchored in Switzerland (corridors CH · LI). International investors go through the same eligibility and KYC/AML review; the platform is available in six languages (German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese).
