Fund Governance Setup

A fund structure usually includes a management company, a general partner and limited partners. We form and organise required entities and set up the governance around partners, directors and investment committees. This includes management fee arrangements, carried interest allocations, key person provisions and internal compliance policies. For digital asset managers, we also address custody, wallet access, risk management and token handling rules.

2.

Ongoing Fund Support

Once the fund is live, we continue to support the manager. This includes onboarding new investors, preparing side letters, amending fund terms, advising on portfolio transactions and ensuring compliance with reporting and regulatory obligations. We work with administrators, custodians, banks and auditors in all major jurisdictions to keep the fund running smoothly.

3.

Digital Asset & Web3 Fund Structures

We work with token funds, hybrid equity token structures, quant funds, Web3 venture funds and digital asset investment vehicles. Our support covers token analysis, custody arrangements, exchange onboarding, valuation policies and compliance with MiCA, Cayman and BVI digital asset rules. We integrate all crypto specific requirements into the main fund documentation so that the structure is complete and regulator ready.

4.

Tax Planning & Structuring

We also help coordinate tax planning with local advisers so that the structure works for both the manager and investors. This includes carried interest treatment, fee income allocation, withholding tax issues, FATCA and CRS compliance, master feeder arrangements and cross border investor onboarding. We also prepare the SPVs and holding companies needed for portfolio investments.
