Our supervision service can bring a high level of professionalism to your reporting process to resolve issues, reduce fees and meet regulatory deadlines. Our preparation service can allow you to fully outsource the process to specialists knowing that it will get the attention and focus that it requires.  We have developed financial reporting tools that can handle complex strategies and investment portfolios, a wide range of alternative instruments and detailed risk disclosures. This combination of expertise and technology can greatly reduce your costs while producing reports to a very high standard to impress your investors.

We can also help you with forming, managing and administering your entities through board support, management company administration, coordination of legal and tax advice, financial reporting and audit supervision and oversight of fund administration services.

Increasingly, hedge funds have to promote their products and brands and not rely exclusively on past performance and recommendations to attract and retain investors. FundAssist has processes and systems in place to help you communicate effectively with your investor base and potential investors. We can help you prepare professional materials from information sheets and market commentaries to fund prices and personalised statements. Your investor base and intermediaries can be reached across a variety of electronic media as well as conventional print media.

Many hedge fund managers see opportunities in the UCITS-compliant market by availing of the increased investment scope of UCITS III.  However, the UCITS regulation and consequential compliance procedures and processes can be daunting. With over a decade of UCITS work for some of the largest asset managers, FundAssist can help you avail of the opportunities quickly and efficiently without getting burdened with formation, registration and operating details.

We offer an integrated package of services specifically devised for the hedge fund manager entering the UCITS marketplace. This draws on our work for the leading UCITS managers, offers economies of scale, access to established networks of local and international contacts and systems specifically developed to deal with UCITS requirements.

Our package is designed to help you through all stages in setting up and operating your UCITS fund. We help you with forming, managing and administering your UCITS entities through home and host registrations, company secretarial and board support, management company administration, coordination of legal and tax advice, financial reporting and audit supervision and oversight of fund administration services.

We coordinate the ongoing changes to fund products and ensure that the regulatory submissions, filings, reporting and service operations are fully UCITS compliant.

FundAssist is closely following developments in relation to the proposed Alternative Investment Fund Manager Directive (AIFMD) and once the text of the proposed directive is finalised will be assessing how best to help our clients deal with the new requirements.
