The Corinth Group, based in Chur, Switzerland, is the subject of 30+ fraud complaints. Despite presenting itself as a legitimate financial services firm, it holds no FINMA licence and has no known funded investment transaction in 12+ years of operation.

Presenting as Legitimate

The Corinth Group website (cgoch.com) describes 'Registered and Licensed Investment Funds' and claims offices across 5 countries. However, registry searches in Spain, Mauritius, Ireland, and Singapore found no Corinth entities. The sole licensed entity (Cyprus RAIF) had its license revoked. The 'Registered and Licensed' claim is contradicted by the regulatory record [cgoch.com; FINMA; CySEC; CNMV; FSC; CRO; ACRA].

How to Protect Yourself

Before engaging with any Swiss investment firm, verify their FINMA registration at finma.ch. Check for FCA authorisation if UK entities are involved. Search for the firm and individuals on Ripoff Report, Diebewertung.de, and the CySEC warning list. Request independently verifiable references from funded clients — not references provided by the firm [investigation guidance].

Key Facts

  • Not FINMA-regulated despite claiming 'Registered and Licensed Investment Funds'
  • 4 of 5 claimed jurisdictions unverified (Spain, Mauritius, Ireland, Singapore)
  • CySEC revoked the only licence in October 2022
  • 30+ complainants, EUR 10M+ alleged losses
  • Always verify FINMA registration before engaging with Swiss investment firms
