Fund Service Providers: Partnering to Empower Emerging Fund Managers

The fund management industry is brimming with exciting new talent and innovative strategies, eager to make their mark. These emerging managers possess the drive and expertise to succeed, yet they often navigate a challenging landscape. Complex regulations, operational burdens, and the high costs of establishing a fund can hinder their progress and delay their ability to showcase their skills and strategies in the market.

As trusted partners to these managers, fund service providers have a unique opportunity to champion a smoother path. By embracing innovative solutions and advocating for a more efficient and accessible fund launch process, we can empower these innovative managers to reshape the industry.  

One such solution is the Variable Capital Company (VCC) structure, a modern and flexible framework that is gaining traction in the industry. Platforms like Fundbox leverage the VCC model to streamline fund setup, reduce costs, and accelerate time-to-market.  

By supporting these innovative solutions and promoting a more efficient fund launch process, we can help emerging managers:

• Overcome financial barriers with a low minimum starting AUM.

• Launch their funds swiftly and capitalise on market opportunities.

• Navigate the complexities of fund formation with ease.  

• Reduce operational burdens and focus on investment strategies.  

Let's collaborate to support emerging managers and foster a thriving fund management ecosystem, where talent and innovation can thrive.
