Scope Of Consultancy
1. New Funds
From initial concept, to launch and distribution IGS prides itself on its reputation as a premier provider of knowledge in this space. IGS can provide detailed consultancies on analysis of markets, structures, service provider selection, fee structures, tax, domicile and distribution to ensure that your Fund most suits the needs of the target market it has been developed to serve. We can advise on all elements of the Fund design from initial projects into feasibility and viability, to full blown Fund builds taken right through to distribution and capital raising.
2. New Investment Management Companies
IGS Advisory services start with advice on tax efficient strategies for Fund companies to make use of the most efficient domiciles and legal frameworks to deliver longevity and security to the holding company shareholders. Central to this process is the proper planning and setting up of the investment management company.
3. Segregated Managed Account Platforms
IGS has extensive and recent experience in advising on Buying, Building and Renting managed accounts through both its founders own experience and IGS's involvement in the launch and establishment of multiple Managed Account Platforms. We believe that IGS's complete independence in this sector enables it to provide pragmatic advice to enable allocators to properly assess the value of using Managed Accounts.
4. Service Provider Review and Selection
IGS’s wide experience and contacts in the Service Provider community gives it the unique ability to access up to date and intimate market intelligence on the sector. With up to date pricing trends coupled with latest technical best practise, our custom service provider selection matrix will allow you to test service provider arrangement to ensure that your arrangements are delivering optimum value and service levels based on 2010 data.
5. UCITS III/ UCITS IV and ETFS
Regulation and Governance issues are central to investor confidence with products such as these. Weekly and often daily liquidity requirements on complex asset pools are making Fund structuring more and more complex. IGS can advise on simple and effective strategies to deliver complex Fund strategies within UCITS and ETF frameworks as well as facilitating introduction to UCITS Managed Account Platforms where appropriate. Indeed, we can often deliver liquidity options in previously discounted strategies through intelligent structuring. Since IGS Advisory is truly independent in this field, our advice comes with the comfort of complete impartiality.
6. Governance and Fiduciary
Successful Funds now face a requirement to demonstrate transparent, independent and strong control systems and protocols to manage the Fund. IGS Advisory can advise on the role of the responsible party for matters concerning certain operations management, risk management and investment management functions in order to enable the fulfilment of the key governance and fiduciary issues relevant to the delivery of all functionality within the governance of the alternative investment process.
