The role of depositary
Full investor protection
Under the AIFMD directive, alternative investment funds managers marketing their fund in Europe are obliged to appoint a third party depositary with respect to its underlying assets. As such, one of the primary aims of a depositary is to provide investor protection. The depositary assures the assets of the fund are always held separately from those of the fund manager, keeping them safe, should the fund go insolvent.
As an independent depositary, we safeguard the assets and ensure your fund complies with the relevant regulations, as well as with the fund's governing documents.
