Funds Services

Launching a fund requires careful coordination of multiple stakeholders, documents, and processes. We provide end-to-end support to align service providers and operating procedures, ensuring a compliant setup tailored to your investment strategy. Our role spans entity formation, regulatory approvals, bank account applications, investor onboarding, and fund closings – covering structures from OEICs and ICCs/PCCs to private equity vehicles, unit trusts, and real asset funds.

We are particularly experienced in guiding entrepreneurs and first-time managers through the complexities of establishing new vehicles, while also working alongside seasoned advisers and sponsors to launch larger, more sophisticated structures.

We deliver the full scope of fund administration, including capital calls, subscriptions, redemptions, distributions, bank account maintenance, payments, and transfer agency support. Acting as a comprehensive back-office extension of your business, we integrate seamlessly with your operations, managing day-to-day workflows efficiently and cost-effectively, while maintaining robust governance and accuracy. Our teams handle financial reporting across multiple GAAPs, manage and coordinate the audit process, oversee statutory reporting requirements, and ensure compliance with regulatory obligations.

To optimise service provider integration, we coordinate with custodians, banks, auditors, and other third-party providers to streamline fund administration and ensure operational efficiency across the entire fund structure. Integrated client, securities, and fund accounting teams ensure accurate data, robust NAV calculation, streamlined audit processes, and timely reporting – enabling managers to focus on investment performance and strategic growth with confidence.

Strong governance underpins successful fund management. We support boards with director appointments, registered office services, board pack preparation, meeting coordination, and statutory record-keeping. Where required, we can provide in-house directors and compliance officers or introduce a panel of independent NEDs aligned with your strategy.

Our services include assistance with the adoption and application of governance and control policies, procedures, and activities, which can be flexibly tailored to the specific risks, activities, and structure of each client. This ensures that funds operate in accordance with regulatory standards, AML requirements, and best-practice governance principles, while aligning with the practical realities of the business. We handle registry filings, beneficial ownership (UBO) updates, and director changes to maintain compliance across jurisdictions, giving managers confidence that their governance obligations are robustly managed.

We act as a central point of contact for investors, managing queries, maintaining records, and overseeing subscriptions, redemptions, transfers, and distributions. By functioning as an extension of your operational team, our transfer agency solutions streamline fund operations and reduce administrative costs, while strengthening investor relationships through timely communications, accurate reporting, and transparent processes. We deliver these services efficiently, without compromising service quality or responsiveness.

Managing regulatory and tax reporting obligations is a critical component of fund administration. We provide comprehensive support to ensure clients meet their responsibilities accurately and on time, covering multiple regimes and jurisdictions.

Our services include:

• FATCA & CRS reporting – annual filings, registrations with tax authorities, and information provision to advisers or responsible officers.
• AIFMD reporting – preparation and submission of Annex IV returns for authorised alternative investment funds.
• UK and US tax reporting – including reporting fund compliance,  tax, and other jurisdiction-specific filings.
• Jersey regulatory returns – compliance with local regulatory obligations for funds, including licensing, economic substance, and statutory submissions.
• Other cross-jurisdictional reporting requirements – ensuring all investor-related and fund-level filings are completed accurately and on time.

We work closely with fund managers and advisers to administer these responsibilities efficiently, allowing them to focus on investment performance while maintaining confidence that all regulatory obligations are fully met.

We provide practical expertise in compliance, helping managers meet their obligations across AML, CFT, economic substance, and data protection. Our team drafts policies and procedures, manages third-party AML/KYC requests, assists with risk management, and supports regulatory filings. Working alongside advisers, we deliver solutions that balance efficiency, risk management, and investor confidence.

As an authorised Alternative Investment Fund Manager (AIFM), we provide regulatory oversight and risk management required under the directive. While portfolio management may be delegated, we retain responsibility for supervision, ensuring compliance and safeguarding investor interests. We also prepare and submit Annex IV reporting at the required frequency, backed by a decade of AIF/AIFM administration experience and resilient systems.

We have built a reputation for supporting both entrepreneurial managers launching innovative new funds and established advisers scaling global strategies. Our administration expertise spans the full spectrum of fund types, from agile Jersey Private Funds (JPFs) structured as unit trusts through to complex multi-strategy platforms and large-scale listed vehicles.

Our services include open-ended funds, where our infrastructure efficiently manages subscriptions, redemptions, corporate actions, and NAV reporting – providing operational excellence for daily- or periodic-dealing structures.

In Jersey, one core focus is on private equity funds and real asset vehicles, including real estate and infrastructure, where our team brings deep local knowledge and experience. We leverage technology-enabled solutions, including FIS Investran and Xero, to streamline fund accounting, investor reporting, and portfolio management. This allows for accurate, efficient administration of complex transactions, capital calls, distributions, and performance tracking while ensuring compliance with regulatory and investor reporting obligations.

We also provide administration for:

• Cell companies (ICCs and PCCs) offering flexible multi-strategy solutions.
• Unit trusts and Jersey Private Funds (JPFs), combining simplicity with regulatory compliance.
• Listed funds and ETFs, supporting governance. operations and transparent reporting where required.
