Fund Managers & Investment Sponsors
We administer private funds, Experienced Investor Funds, and crypto-fund structures under the GFSC AIF regime. AIFMD-aware, NAV-disciplined, and built for managers who would rather have one technical conversation than three rounds of generalist answers.
What we hear from fund managers
Three problems show up repeatedly when we take on a new fund — whether at launch or migrating from another administrator.
Annex IV, investor reporting, capital-account statements, side-letter compliance — the work itself is not hard, but it has to be right and it has to be on the date promised. Many managers we meet are recovering from an administrator that missed both.
How our fund-administration practice is structured →Striking NAV for a private fund holding venture, real estate, or digital assets needs an administrator who understands the underlying instruments. A spreadsheet built for long-only equities will not survive the audit.
Our fund-administration scope →From the fund's authorisation file through annual returns and post-launch changes, the regulatory paperwork is continuous, not a one-off. Most managers want it lifted off the investment desk entirely.
How we run the compliance function →What we do for fund managers
Only the services a manager actually engages an administrator for. The full list is on What We Do.
NAV calculation, investor servicing, capital-call and distribution processing, transfer agency, and Annex IV reporting for AIFs, EIFs, and private funds.
Why it matters here: The core relationship — what fund managers come to us for first.
Registered office, directors, secretarial, and statutory filings for the General Partner, Manager, and any Gibraltar SPV layer.
Why it matters here: The Gibraltar entities that surround the fund itself need administering too.
Fund financial statements under IFRS or US GAAP, audit liaison, side-letter NAV adjustments, and corporate tax filings for the GP and ManCo entities.
Why it matters here: Where most audit-readiness work actually happens.
AML monitoring, AIF and EIF regulatory filings, ongoing GFSC notifications, beneficial-ownership filings, and breach reporting where it applies.
Why it matters here: The function most managers prefer to outsource entirely.
How we engage
Five stages from a first technical conversation to a fund on the books.
Why Gibraltar — from a fund-manager angle
Gibraltar's fund regime sits between the heavyweight European centres and the lighter offshore options. The Experienced Investor Fund is a tested vehicle with a known cost base, a GFSC that responds inside working weeks rather than working months, and an administrator community that is small enough that the people authorising your fund will know the people running it.
On the regulatory side, AIFMD applies, AIFMD-light is available for sub-threshold managers, and the GFSC's expectations around substance, valuation policy, and depositary arrangements are explicit. There is no informal route — but that is also why an investor due-diligence team can answer their compliance questions without an apology.
For crypto and digital-asset funds, Gibraltar's DLT framework is a separate, named regime — not an extension of something else. That distinction matters when an investor asks how the underlying assets are regulated.
