FUND FORMATION & CORPORATE SERVICES

Coordinated depositary oversight and evidence flows.

Support the data and workflow interface with an appointed depositary while preserving depositary independence and formal responsibility.

Overview

Under AIFMD and related frameworks, an appointed depositary may have duties including cash-flow monitoring, safekeeping/asset verification and oversight of specified fund processes. Kelton can support the manager-side data and evidence interface.

Operating priorities

Depositary oversight depends on timely cash, asset, ownership, fund and transaction information from multiple providers. Poor coordination creates repeated queries and weak evidence.

Common operating challenges

  • Cash/asset data delivered late.
  • Ownership/asset evidence fragmented.
  • Depositary queries lack owner/status.
  • Oversight exceptions not tracked.
  • Manager assumes another provider handles all depositary data.

Frequently asked questions

What are common depositary duties?

Professional providers commonly describe cash monitoring, safekeeping/asset verification and oversight.

Can Kelton act as depositary?

Not unless separately authorised and appointed. Our scope is coordination and operating support.

Why is independence important?

Depositary oversight is a formal investor-protection role and should not be blurred with manager/support functions.
