Responsibility mapping
Document retained and delegated responsibilities across the manager and appointed providers.
FUND FORMATION & CORPORATE SERVICES
Coordinated oversight across AIFM and ManCo relationships.
Support managers working with third-party regulated management companies without implying Kelton itself performs the AIFM/ManCo role.
Overview
In European fund structures an authorised AIFM or management company can hold formal responsibilities such as risk management, compliance/oversight and, depending on the operating model, portfolio-management responsibilities. Non-European managers can use third-party AIFM/ManCo arrangements for European funds or market access.
