Investment Funds
Setting up investment funds, keeping the manager compliant and running the fund day to day, across Cayman, the BVI, the Bahamas, Luxembourg and the UAE.
We set up private investment funds — private equity and venture capital funds, hedge funds, credit funds and tokenised funds — in Cayman, the BVI, the Bahamas, Luxembourg and the UAE. We work with first-time managers moving into a proper institutional structure and established managers launching additional funds.
The design comes down to three things: who your investors are, your strategy, and what ongoing compliance will cost. We size the structure to how much you're actually likely to raise — not the biggest structure you could possibly justify.
Every fund is built with independent directors, an administrator, an auditor and lawyers, coordinated as one project. Real presence is designed in from day one rather than patched in at year-end.

The countries we most often use for this service.
Questions we hear on every intake call.
- How much money do I need to launch a fund?
- For a Cayman or BVI fund, most first-time managers launch with $10m–$30m in informal commitments. Below that, a managed account or a single-purpose company is usually cheaper.
- How long does it take to launch a Cayman fund?
- Six to twelve weeks from starting work to the first investors coming in, if the manager's checks and the offering documents are worked on at the same time.
- Do I need independent directors?
- For any fund taking outside money, yes — both for good governance and because most institutional investors insist on it.
