Digital asset funds
Digital asset funds operate very differently to conventional portfolios, and the underlying holdings require new custody and risk management approaches.
At Fund HQ, we understand the importance of secure wallet custody and rigorous platform due diligence in this risk-heavy space. Our team stays vigilant about operational security, drawing lessons from incidents like the ByBit hack to help protect assets against cyber threats. We also adapt reporting frameworks for crypto assets, ensuring transparent, compliant reporting despite volatility and technical complexity.
Closed-ended private equity funds
Closed-ended private equity funds have distinct operational demands. Handling the drawdown process and tracking commitments requires precision and timeliness, so our team assists with preparing drawdown notices and managing investor communications – taking care of these duties while managers focus on deals.
Because private holdings are not priced daily, quarterly valuations and investor updates are crucial, and Fund HQ’s team is well-versed in valuing unlisted assets and coordinating these processes each quarter. The cyclical nature of private equity, with intense activity around capital calls, deployments and distributions, lends itself well to our outsourced support model.
During busy periods, we provide concentrated, expert help and remain on hand for ongoing administration in quieter times. Many service providers struggle to scale in this way, but our approach is built for the ebb and flow of private capital funds.
Fund of funds
Fund of funds is another area where Fund HQ brings first-hand experience to manage layered complexity. A fund-of-funds must perform due diligence on companies and other fund managers. There’s an extra layer of transparency and reporting obligations to consider, as the fund of funds need information from each underlying fund. Operational pressures often spike at month-end when underlying funds release valuations and reports. At Fund HQ, we don’t just react to these spikes. We anticipate and plan for them, ensuring a smooth and controlled process. We can bring Operational Due Diligence expertise and Operational resources to help collate and reconcile data from multiple sources, ensuring each investor receives accurate, consolidated reports on time. Our familiarity with this workflow means we smooth out these complex processes, allowing fund of funds managers to maintain clarity and control.
