AIFMD and UCITS Management Company Solutions

Client dedicated management company offerings.

BAM partners with investment managers to provide this service as part of an overall structure. It is bespoke for each fund. BAM is appointed by the fund as the management company that is responsible for primary management functions, while the investment manager is appointed solely for the investment management activities.
If you already have your key service providers in place, BAM can look to provide the regulatory substance in your preferred fund jurisdiction and provide a scalable solution to meet your future needs.
The investment manager selects the key service providers and the board of directors of the fund.
BAM constantly monitors the regulatory changes and market developments to ensure funds serviced by our firm continue to stay ahead of requirements.

Hosted solutions

BAM offers clients the opportunity to launch fund structures by leveraging off key services providers within an existing regulatory and an operational framework that is already predefined.

The main benefits are as follows:

⦁ our structure allows each fund structure to retain their own individual branding.
⦁ each fund structure uses pre-selected service providers with agreed legal documents and pricing allowing for efficient setup.
⦁ our platform management fee covers all key service providers and services including AIFM/management company, administrator, depositary (fiduciary oversight), auditor, directors, risk and regulatory reporting, company secretary, MLRO, KIID/ KID production, and hosting and launch coordination.
⦁ BAM has taken on all these expenses directly and, as such, can pass on a single line-item cost to sub funds for all the above – by limiting fees to a maximum, a manager can manage their total expense ratio with confidence.
The key advantage of a hosted solution is speed to market and access to a robust network of key service providers.
BAM is an operator of funds, not just a service provider.

BAM has more than 20 years of experience managing UCITS and AIFs and we were one of the first AIFMs to launch AIFMD-compliant funds.

European investment fund management firm

Our UCITS and AIFMD solutions team has always been at the forefront of European regulatory changes and works to anticipate their implementation, ensuring our funds achieve first mover advantage wherever possible.

We have a strong relationship with counterparties and alternative investment fund service providers with technological infrastructure that is flexible enough to manage the increasingly complex regulatory requirements of investor reporting.
Within the AIFM or UCITS ManCo model, we are responsible for Key Asset Management functions while the investment manager is appointed solely for investment management activities, allowing them to focus on their core competency.

UCITS management company

BAM can construct your UCITS fund either as a standalone structure or as a sub-fund on our multi-award winning UCITS platform ICAV.
BAM can advise on the compatibility of the investment strategy and the setup structure, and we can offer an objective opinion on the current demand for the investment strategy in the marketplace and how best to target it. Through our Investment Solutions business, we have access to the market knowledge that enables fund managers to enter the European regulated market more effectively. This includes assistance with selecting the right service providers and distribution networks to support your sales strategy.

Alternative Investment Fund Manager (AIFM)

Like the procedures for UCITS, we can construct an alternative investment fund (AIF) either as a standalone structure or as a sub fund on a platform.
The Management Company has dedicated teams throughout Europe to manage the economic substance requirements outlined in the AIFMD regulations, including AIFMD-related risk management, AIFMD passporting procedures, and regulatory oversight. This enables investment management and distribution functions to be delegated back to you without restriction.

Fund platform solutions

We offer our clients the opportunity to launch a European sub fund on an existing umbrella structure by leveraging off the existing regulatory and operational framework that is already in place.
