  Reason given

  Finanssivalvonta kieltää Ermitage Partners Oy:ltä sijoituspalvelujen tarjoamisen ilman toimilupaa. Finanssivalvonta katsoo, että Ermitage Partners Oy on tarjonnut sijoituspalveluja ilman laissa edellytettyä toimilupaa, vaikka yhtiön toiminta on täyttänyt sijoituspalvelulain toimeksiantojen välityksen tunnusmerkistön. Finanssivalvonnan näkemyksen mukaan yhtiön toiminta on käsittänyt vaihtoehtorahastojen osuuksien markkinointia ja myynnin edistämistä, ja se on toiminnallaan mahdollistanut, että suomalaiset sijoittajat ovat voineet tehdä sijoituksia tiettyihin ulkomaisiin vaihtoehtorahastoihin. Yhtiön toiminnan tavoitteena on ollut saada sijoitussitoumuksia markkinoimiinsa ETA-vaihtoehtorahastoihin, koska yhtiö on saanut välitystoiminnastaan palkkiota ulkomaisilta rahastonhoitajilta. Yhtiön toiminta on siten täyttänyt sijoituspalvelulain toimeksiantojen välityksen tunnusmerkistön. Yhtiö on hakenut Finanssivalvonnalta toimilupaa sijoituspalvelujen tarjoamiseen tarkoituksenaan tarjota muun muassa vaihtoehtorahastoja koskevien toimeksiantojen välittämistä. Toimilupakäsittelyn aikana on käynyt ilmi, että yhtiö on jo vuoden 2022 aikana ja edelleen vuonna 2023 tarjonnut sijoituspalvelua ilman sijoituspalveluyrityksen toimilupaa, vaikka yhtiö on ollut tietoinen sen tarpeellisuudesta ja yhtiön sijoituspalvelun tarjoamista koskevan toimiluvan käsittely on ollut kesken. Finanssivalvonnan päätös tulee voimaan välittömästi. Päätös ei ole kuitenkaan lainvoimainen, sillä Ermitage Partners Oy:llä on oikeus valittaa Helsingin hallinto-oikeuteen päätöksestä 30 päivän kuluessa. Tieto päätöksen lainvoimaisuudesta on saatavilla Finanssivalvonnan verkkopalvelussa. [original (Finnish)] The Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) prohibits Ermitage Partners Oy from providing investment services without authorisation. The FIN-FSA finds that Ermitage Partners Oy has provided investment services without a legally required authorisation although the activities of the firm have fulfilled the characteristics of the transmission of orders under the Investment Services Act. In the FIN-FSA’s view, the firm’s activities have involved the marketing and promotion of the sales of units in alternative investment funds, and its activities have enabled Finnish investors to make investments in certain foreign alternative investment funds. The objective of the firm’s activities has been to obtain investment commitments to EEA alternative investment funds marketed by it, since the firm has received a fee for its brokerage activities from foreign fund managers. Hence, the activities of the firm have fulfilled the characteristics of the transmission of orders under the Investment Services Act. The firm has applied for the FIN-FSA’s authorisation for the provision of investment services with the intention to provide, inter alia, the transmission of orders concerning alternative investment funds. In the context of processing the authorisation, it was revealed that the firm had already provided investment services in 2022 and continued to do so in 2023 without the authorisation of an investment firm, even though the firm had been aware of the necessity of the authorisation and its application for an authorisation for investment services was in process. The FIN-FSA's decision will enter into force on immediately. However, the decision is not legally valid, since Ermitage Partners Oy has the right to appeal the decision to the Helsinki Administrative Court within 30 days. Information on the legal validity of the decision is available on the FIN-FSA website.

Where the company is registered or connected

• FI: registered here; holds a register number issued here

  Registers read here: Finland PRH YTJ Register. No register here states who owns this jurisdiction's companies, so an ownership chain reaching one stops.

• No read on or before 25 October 2026 is recorded for one source behind this file (Finland PRH YTJ Register), so the version of what was read from it cannot be given.
• Whether each listing was in force is rebuilt from what was recorded here: when it was first read, when a source stopped or resumed carrying it, and when its published term ended. A listing in force at an authority before this system first read it is shown from that first read.
• No ownership verdict is kept for this company. Verdicts are kept for companies registered where shareholders are read here: Estonia, Latvia and Poland.
