Our Advisory Services
Annual Statement Design
We design the annual statement framework — full-year performance summary, audited NAV, capital account statements, portfolio review, risk report, governance summary and outlook — structured for institutional investors.
Investment Committee Annual Review
Framework for the annual IC review — assessing performance against mandate, reviewing manager performance, updating the strategic asset allocation and approving the investment programme for the year ahead.
Audited Accounts Coordination
We advise on the year-end audit process — working with your fund administrator and auditors to ensure the audit file is complete, valuation methodologies are documented and audit queries are managed efficiently.
Performance Attribution Summary
Full-year performance attribution — by asset class, manager, factor and geography — with comparison to benchmark and prior year, providing the evidence base for strategic allocation review.
Governance Review Report
An annual assessment of governance quality — mandate compliance through the year, breach history and resolution, committee effectiveness, documentation quality — structured for board review.
Regulatory Filing Advisory
Advisory on annual regulatory filings — ADGM/DFSA annual returns, FCA regulatory reporting, FATCA/CRS annual reporting, beneficial ownership updates — ensuring every filing is complete and on time.
Built for Real Outcomes
The year-end review is the moment when governance either earns its credibility or reveals its gaps. A well-conducted annual review creates the institutional memory and evidence base that sustains investor confidence year after year.
We design year-end frameworks that make this process disciplined, efficient and genuinely useful — not just a compliance exercise.
Year-End Review Components
- Full-year performance vs mandate objectives
- Manager review — continue, watch-list or replace decision
- Strategic asset allocation update — is it still appropriate?
- Risk framework review — were limits effective?
- Governance quality assessment — was process followed?
- Regulatory compliance review — all filings complete and on time?

How we structure corporate mandates
1) Structuring & Governance Layer
A compliant corporate structure requires defined ownership logic, governance controls and documentation discipline.
- Jurisdiction selection based on purpose, exposure, banking credibility and operating footprint
- Shareholding architecture (direct / holding / SPV) and beneficial ownership documentation
- Board governance: resolutions, registers, authority matrices and signatory controls
- Operational alignment: activities, licensing scope and regulatory requirements
2) Compliance, Banking & Continuity Layer
To remain credible, entities must maintain good standing and a defensible documentation trail over time.
- Compliance calendars: renewals, filings, reporting deadlines and statutory requirements
- Bank onboarding readiness: KYC documentation, SoF/SoW packs and operational narrative
- Accounting posture: reporting cadence, record discipline and audit readiness (where required)
