Overview
As soon as a client contacts with regard to a potential fund project, we will work closely together. The personal relationship with the client and assisted by our teams of dedicated experts, will examine and recommend the best location, legal and operational approach. Moreover, we will lead the client through the procedural steps required to launch a fund or a family of funds.
Your personal consultant, working closely with you and assisted by our teams of legal, tax, administrative and technical experts, will examine the pros and cons of each structure depending on and in accordance with your overall objectives.

Services
We will give you the benefit of our wealth of experience and discuss with you a whole range of matters, such as the type of investment objectives, the registration of the Fund in specific jurisdictions, the potential development of the fund in the future, any retrocession agreements that you may wish to enter into or have already entered into.
At the same time, we will work on setting up the agreement with us. This process mainly involves:
Drafting the required agreements (Custody and Administrative Agent agreement; Advisory agreement; Distribution agreement; Registrar, Transfer and Paying Agent agreement);
Drafting the Client Procedure which indicates the services and operating procedures which we have agreed upon with you;
The Client Procedure plays an important role in our relationship with you. It gives a clear written description of the services provided and the working practices to be complied with. It includes commitments relating to deadlines and defines mechanisms for dealing with problems that might arise.
