Interested in joining our team?
We are always on the lookout for passionate people that possess IQ and EQ to join our growing team.
Under the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD), IQ-EQ is authorised to act as an independent depositary for UK and EU alternative investment fund managers (AIFMs) with funds domiciled in the UK, Luxembourg or the Netherlands.
We provide ‘depositary-lite’ services to non-EU AIFMs and AIFs, including those marketing in Germany and/or Denmark under the national private placement regimes (NPPRs), delivered primarily from our United Kingdom office.
In the Netherlands, our offering extends to liquid and open-ended fund structures with a limited holding of financial instruments and plain vanilla investment strategies.
Our depositary services can be delivered as part of a wider suite of fund administration services, or on a standalone basis where we interface with our clients’ in-house fund administration team or existing service provider. Our depositaries are separate entities, segregated from our fund administration and AIFM ManCo services within the Group.
