Compliance built into your fund's operations, not bolted on after

  1. Compliance framework setup

    We establish your AML policy, investor classification process, and regulatory reporting calendar during fund formation.

  2. Investor classification

    As investors onboard, we classify each one for FATCA, CRS, and AML purposes. All required documentation is collected and validated.

  3. Ongoing monitoring & reporting

    We monitor investor status changes, execute periodic re-verification, and prepare all required filings throughout fund life.

  4. Regulatory updates

    When regulations change, we assess the impact, update your policies, and implement new requirements before the effective date.

Compliance across nine jurisdictions, managed by specialists

  • Proactive, not reactive

    We don’t wait for your auditor to find a gap. Our framework includes ongoing monitoring, periodic reviews, and updates when regulations change.

  • Audit-ready documentation

    Every compliance action is documented. When your auditor or regulator asks for evidence, it is ready: organized, complete, and current.

FATCA & CRS - what fund managers actually need to know

Cut through the legalese. Here is what FATCA and CRS mean in practice for your fund: who you report on, what forms you collect, and what happens if you get it wrong.

Tax & compliance questions

  • It depends on your jurisdiction and fund structure. In some cases, we can provide the designated MLRO or compliance officer function as part of our service. In others, we work alongside your appointed officer to execute the compliance program.

  • We register your fund as a Foreign Financial Institution (FFI), obtain your GIIN, classify all investors including US persons, collect the appropriate W-series forms, and file annual FATCA reports with the Luxembourg tax authority.

  • We monitor regulatory developments across all jurisdictions we operate in. When a new requirement is finalised, we assess the impact on your fund, update your compliance documentation, and implement new processes before the effective date.

  • Yes. Multi-jurisdiction investor bases are standard for us. We manage the specific reporting obligations for each LP’s tax residency and make sure your fund complies with regulations in every relevant jurisdiction.

  • We work directly with your legal counsel on matters that require legal interpretation. For operational compliance (KYC execution, filing preparation, monitoring), we handle it directly.

  • We screen all investors against relevant sanctions lists (OFAC, EU, UN, UK) at onboarding and on an ongoing basis. We also monitor for PEP status. Any matches are flagged, investigated, and escalated according to your fund’s AML policy.
