Our team of investment fund and asset management specialists have deep experience across the asset management and investment funds sector.
Our investment funds services
We advise clients on a cross-border basis on the formation of and, for investor clients, investment into funds across the product and asset-class spectrum, covering private equity, hedge funds, fund-of-funds, long-only (UCITS and non-UCITS), real estate, infrastructure and insurance. The team provides targeted advice on specific issues or transactions and is frequently engaged on complex multi-disciplinary and multi-jurisdictional projects.
The team also advises asset managers on the formation and ongoing operation of investment firms and AIFM businesses.

These include managed account and advisory agreements (whether structured or in contractual form), trading agreements (including ISDAs, GMRAs, PB, FX PB and other derivatives), as well as service provider contracts (including administrators, custodians, regulatory hosting services, platform agreements and external regulatory consultancy agreements). We also advise on insurance-linked investment products, intra-group arrangements and outsourcing in compliance with SYSC 8.
The team also advises pension schemes on investment regulatory compliance.
