Directly or through our partnering entities, we offer solutions for:
Incorporation
We don’t just write your prospectus. Our approach to incorporation is as thorough as it gets. We start by identifying with you the fund type that is the most appropriate for your objectives. We review all components of your investment strategy, policy and management and deliver valuable feedback to establish a robust fund that will not require ongoing corrective measures after it is launched. Laws and regulations are taken into account and translated in opportunities, not barriers. We ensure that the regulatory and legal elements of your setup support your fund’s growth and distribution plans as they evolve in time and geography. Our operational experts deliver solutions that reflect the importance of establishing efficient flows with the custodian bank, the fund administrator and the registrar/ transfer agent.
Regulated Investment Management Services
We offer day-to-day management, organization, regulatory compliance, and oversight of your Dedicated Fund. Our role as the regulated management company is to streamline necessary administrative steps in the management of your fund. We fulfill key roles in areas of risk and investment compliance that allow you to focus on the investment process of your dedicated fund whether you act as advisor or delegated manager. As long as the fund operates within the rules defined by the prospectus and other legal documents, our role is one of monitoring, measurement and support, not interference.
Custody
We work with custodian banks and depositories that have been selected on their ability to offer services that answer complex requirements of safekeeping, controls and reporting. We are flexible to accommodate any custodian or sub-custodian bank according to our client’s preferences as long as they can operate within quality parameters monitored by a service level agreement, within specific key performance indicators and within the regulatory framework.
