Investment funds

Investment funds require the right structuring, appropriate terms, market knowledge and careful management in order to take advantage of a host of exciting investment opportunities. Our expert team can help.

Innovations in IT, the introduction of certain tax reliefs, the effect of austerity and other market factors, and the approach of the FCA to fintech, have revolutionised the investment funds market. Some issues such as regulatory hurdles, financial constraints, and investor sophistication are no longer impenetrable barriers for first time investment managers or investors. New finance structures are emerging all the time. With a wealth of funds experience, we get to know your ambitions and risk appetite so that we can help you explore this dynamic and developing market to help find, create and invest using the right fund vehicle.
