We support you in the attainment of your goals day after day. Our services portfolio includes the following activities.
Incorporation of funds
We are eager to analyze your fund incorporation plans in a personal discussion. Given the numerous possibilities as regards legal structures and functional options, it will help you choose a fund solution optimized to your needs. We will assist you in the appointment of a custodian bank or depositary and prepare all fund documents (trust agreement or instrument of incorporation, prospectus, Key Investor Information Document, fact sheet, etc.) as per your objectives. In collaboration with the auditor, we will submit a fund approval application to the Liechtenstein supervisory authority and, if applicable, set up your domestic and foreign distribution scheme.
Fund management
Within the scope of the fund management mandate, IFM Independent Fund Management AG will assume the responsibility for implementing investment strategies under consideration of compliance with investment guidelines as stipulated by law and the respective fund regulations.
Fund accounting
Portfolio accounting and the calculation of the fund's net asset value are among the core competencies of IFM Independent Fund Management AG. Standardized processes are deployed to verify the net asset value and reconcile it with the fund's depositary. Strictly defined processes govern the response to possible fund valuation errors. Determining the Total Expense Ratio (TER) is part of our daily business as is the preparation of statements documenting issue premiums, management fees, and performance-linked remuneration, if any.
Fund reporting
We prepare comprehensive fund reports for various recipients, including asset managers, promoters, depositaries or supervisory authorities. This activity also includes the preparation of fact sheets, semi-annual and annual reports, or accountability reports for domestic and foreign regulatory entities.
Market information
The valuation price analysis, a core element for the calculation of the net asset value, is performed by an independent entity in close consultation with the fund accountancy and investment compliance. Master security data sets are imported via interfaces. Quality controls assure the integrity of the information.
Investment compliance
The XENTIS specialist system is deployed to control the fund's risk management, a facet which is gaining more and more importance. This ensures fully automated monitoring of compliance with investment limits. Regulatory monitoring on every single valuation day makes it possible to immediately detect and rectify any violation of investment limits.
Information systems
The fund's net asset value is published via various electronic information systems on a daily basis:
The three websites mentioned above also offer downloads for all fund documents (prospectus, trust agreement or instrument of incorporation, annual and semi-annual reports, fact sheets, etc.).
Aggregation of tax-related information
Some countries in which the fund's units are distributed require the aggregation of tax-related information. IFM Independent Fund Management AG will aggregate the fiscal data and submit it to the respective authorities. The tax-related data is also published in specified media.
Distribution
Distribution is the key element in a fund's value chain. We will be happy to assist you in developing and finalizing distribution agreements with third parties, in preparing marketing tools, and in selecting representatives and paying agents abroad.
