Fund Management

I

In a cross-border environment with an evolving complex regulatory environment, you need to master financial and regulatory aspects to structure a fund in an optimized approach. As Investment Managers for funds, we have extensive expertise in a broad range of asset classes. FARAD I.M.’s team follow the latest regulatory developments from the industry thanks to our connection with recognized entities (LPEA, ALFI…), which allows us to give you the right input at the right moment.
As regulation is getting more complex, fund managers, institutional investors, individuals, administrative agents and other professionals of the financial sector need more assistance in fund formation and regulatory advice. For the past 15 years, we have assisted our clients for a wide scope of funds. We advise on all matters of compliance with regulatory legislation related to AIFMs, SIFs, SICARs, RAIFs, and UCITS, including AML legislation, MiFID/MiFIR, EMIR, SFTR and GDPR.
As part of the review and enhancement of our services, we recently developed an extended version of our standard service to clients who aim to set-up an investment fund with our support. The service denominated “Full Service Investment Manager” has the aim to play the role of a “one stop shop” for our clients.

Portfolio Management

At FARAD I.M. our core business is portfolio management. We have an extensive experience in managing portfolio and we do it on the back of our own GreenEthica sustainable investment process or with the help of third party advisors. We provide such services on private accounts, through insurance wrappers and through investment funds. Key counter-parties for those being banks, insurance companies and advisors.
This advisory service (with third party advisors) is ideal for counter-parties who do not have the required license to proposed investments and/or investment strategies to their client. We can manage the assets of their client and implement the agreed investment strategy thanks to our CSSF license. This product is gaining of important because the PSF license is more and more difficult to get and the minimal requirements needed to start a new regulated business are getting more and more stringent over time.

ADEX

I

ADEX is a specific asset management service that FARAD I.M. provides to its institutional clientele. This particular service allows the team to provide an exceptional high-value service thanks to the professional support of an external consultant, while remaining the main and direct entities accountable for the portfolio management.
   Our direct portfolio management with external advisor is carried out in two different phases. Within the first phase, the contractual one, after the signature of a cooperation agreement between FARAD I.M. and the Advisor, the latter is officially appointed by FARAD I.M. case by case. The second phase on the other hand, is the operational one. Where the activities of advice insertion and execution are carried out passing through pre-trade checks and ending with the online update of the allocation.

Thanks to its internal expertise on several financial services and as a fully authorized “Fund Distributor”, FARAD I.M. could propose to Non-European counter-parties an additional service called “European Fund Distribution” in order to help them in selling financial products they are not licensed to market within European borders. In this context FARAD I.M. is able to offer two different solutions depending on the licenses and the will of the counter party, through a consolidated framework made of a dedicated committee for compliance approvals and a dedicated project manager who follows the client from the first step of the on-boarding to the day by day tasks and operational workflows.”
