The benefits of using a third-party management company
Fortunately, by engaging the right third-party management company (ManCo) you can significantly streamline this process.
Accelerate your fund launch
Setting up an in-house management company can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. When you partner with a third-party ManCo, you can accelerate your time to market, with fund registration possible in as little as two to four weeks. This quick-launch solution empowers you to focus on your investment strategy while leveraging an established framework that maximises efficiency.
Regulatory expertise & market access
An experienced ManCo brings deep expertise and pre-existing relationships with regulators, making regulatory compliance effortless. This partnership also ensures smoother fund registration, compliance, and distribution set-up—including access to the marketing passport that streamlines capital-raising within the EU.
Operational efficiency & cost savings
Running an in-house ManCo requires significant investment in HR, IT, office infrastructure, and compliance. By outsourcing to a third-party ManCo, fund managers can unlock several key benefits including:
- Lower operational costs with a fully equipped infrastructure
- Robust, tailored processes designed for AIF requirements
- A dedicated, passionate team with extensive industry expertise
- Reduced workload so fund managers can focus on portfolio management
Risk & liability management
A third-party ManCo assumes the regulatory liability for you, ensuring investment, market, and operational risks are properly managed. With established risk frameworks in place, fund managers experience total peace of mind knowing that compliance, oversight, and governance are in the hands of highly experienced professionals.
A global network with a boutique approach
Choosing the right ManCo delivers the best of both worlds: access to a global network of expertise and a tailored, boutique-level service. At Vistra, we provide a seamless, end-to-end solution designed to support your fund’s success every step of the way.
