Fund Managers & Investment Sponsors

Fund administration for managers who read the regulations themselves

We administer private funds, Experienced Investor Funds, and crypto-fund structures under the GFSC AIF regime. AIFMD-aware, NAV-disciplined, and built for managers who would rather have one technical conversation than three rounds of generalist answers.

What we hear from fund managers

Three problems we hear about most

Three problems show up repeatedly when we take on a new fund — whether at launch or migrating from another administrator.

AIFMD-light reporting that actually arrives on time

Annex IV, investor reporting, capital-account statements, side-letter compliance — the work itself is not hard, but it has to be right and it has to be on the date promised. Many managers we meet are recovering from an administrator that missed both.

How our fund-administration practice is structured →

NAV calculation and pricing — including illiquid and crypto

Striking NAV for a private fund holding venture, real estate, or digital assets needs an administrator who understands the underlying instruments. A spreadsheet built for long-only equities will not survive the audit.

Our fund-administration scope →

GFSC AIF licensing, EIF authorisation, and ongoing notifications

From the fund's authorisation file through annual returns and post-launch changes, the regulatory paperwork is continuous, not a one-off. Most managers want it lifted off the investment desk entirely.

What we do for fund managers

Services relevant to this sector

Only the services a manager actually engages an administrator for. The full list is on What We Do.

How we engage

A five-step engagement model

Five stages from a first technical conversation to a fund on the books.

01 Introductory technical discussion
A working call with our fund-administration and compliance leads — not a sales pitch. We discuss strategy, instrument mix, investor base, and likely vehicle (AIF, EIF, private fund, sub-fund). Sixty minutes, no fee, no proposal deck.
02 KYC, regulatory scope and AIF licensability
We run KYC on the principals, scope the GFSC application (AIF authorisation, EIF designation, or private-fund notification as applicable), and identify any sub-threshold or marketing-passport considerations.
03 Structure design
We work with your legal counsel on the fund-formation documents — partnership / company / protected-cell as appropriate — the GP and ManCo Gibraltar entities, and any depositary and audit appointments. NAV model and reporting cadence are signed off here, not later.
04 Onboarding and authorisation
Fund formation, GFSC application file, depositary and auditor engagement, bank-account opening, investor onboarding workflow, and first close. We carry the regulatory paperwork — your team carries the investment narrative.
05 Ongoing administration
NAV strikes on the agreed cadence, investor reporting, Annex IV and other GFSC filings, board and audit support, fund-level accounting, and post-launch structural changes (new sub-fund, share class, side letter, key-person event).

Why Gibraltar — from a fund-manager angle

Why Gibraltar — for this sector specifically

Gibraltar's fund regime sits between the heavyweight European centres and the lighter offshore options. The Experienced Investor Fund is a tested vehicle with a known cost base, a GFSC that responds inside working weeks rather than working months, and an administrator community that is small enough that the people authorising your fund will know the people running it.

On the regulatory side, AIFMD applies, AIFMD-light is available for sub-threshold managers, and the GFSC's expectations around substance, valuation policy, and depositary arrangements are explicit. There is no informal route — but that is also why an investor due-diligence team can answer their compliance questions without an apology.

For crypto and digital-asset funds, Gibraltar's DLT framework is a separate, named regime — not an extension of something else. That distinction matters when an investor asks how the underlying assets are regulated.
