Beyond allowing the firm to avail of the speed-to-market benefits of becoming an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/iqeq.com\/gb\/services\/appointed-representative\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Appointed Representative<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> (AR), this approach would provide investors with assurance on governance and independence.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Once they were ready to launch their first fund, the firm then needed an alternative investment fund manager (AIFM) under the requirements of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/iqeq.com\/gb\/services\/uk-aifm\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">UK AIFM<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> regime. They decided to appoint a specialist third-party firm to provide AIFM services.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Our solution<\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The firm first became an AR of G10 Capital Limited, an FCA regulated subsidiary of IQ-EQ.\u00a0 Using this route, the client was ready to conduct regulated activities quickly and the founders could focus on fundraising.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Once commitments were in place to launch the fund, G10 was also appointed as third-party AIFM. We became responsible for the portfolio management and risk management of the fund and ensured that all the regulatory aspects under AIFMD, such as Annex IV reporting and valuations, were taken care of.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In addition, the client was able to take advantage of G10\u2019s existing relationships within the hedge fund industry, including brokers, trading counterparties and vital hardware and software providers. This allowed the client to build out institutional-grade infrastructure to support their hedge fund launch.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The results<\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The firm successfully launched its hedge fund and has since gone on to launch a second fund, with continued support from G10 with both AR and third-party AIFM services. We hope to continue supporting this client as they grow and look to launch additional products in future.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Find out more about our <a href=\"https:\/\/iqeq.com\/gb\/services\/appointed-representative\/\">AR regulatory hosting<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/iqeq.com\/gb\/services\/uk-aifm\/\">third-party AIFM services<\/a> in the UK, or <a href=\"https:\/\/iqeq.com\/gb\/locations\/united-kingdom\/#contact-us\">get in touch with our expert team<\/a> today.<\/h4>\n            <\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":1399,"menu_order":0,"template":"","expertise":[16],"service_category":[322],"class_list":["post-1398","case_study","type-case_study","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
