Governance & Compliance
Transparency is fundamental to how we operate. This page discloses relevant information about our governance structure, political affiliations, and conflict of interest management.
Politically Exposed Person (PEP) Disclosure
Nik Gugger, the founder and managing director of Herzkraftwerk AG, holds a public political office in Switzerland. Under Swiss and international anti-money laundering (AML) regulations, this qualifies him as a Politically Exposed Person (PEP).
We proactively disclose this status to all clients, partners, and counterparties to ensure full transparency and to facilitate any enhanced due diligence (EDD) processes that may be required by your compliance frameworks.
What This Means for You
- All business relationships are conducted under standard Swiss corporate governance rules.
- We support and cooperate with any EDD processes required by your institution.
- Political activities and business activities are strictly separated.
Conflict of Interest Policy
- We disclose any potential conflicts of interest before entering into a business relationship.
- We do not act on both sides of a transaction without written consent from all parties.
- Political activities and commercial activities are maintained in completely separate contexts.
- All advisory fees and compensation structures are disclosed upfront.
- We maintain client confidentiality and do not share information between unrelated engagements.
