Investment funds
We offer a comprehensive service in relation to hedge, currency, derivatives, fixed income, long-only securities, emerging markets and UCITS funds. We are able to take the lead on the transaction from initial structuring and see it through to listing (if required) and launch. To this end, we work closely with the other service providers in the sector such as prime brokers, brokers, sponsoring brokers, administrators and custodians, as well as with our network of contacts in overseas law firms.
There many issues to be taken into account when setting up a fund. Some issues to consider would be:
- who are the target investors?
- what type of fund should be set up?
- where should it be established?
- should the fund be listed?
- what are the tax implications?
Taylor Wessing's experience in setting up a wide range of funds in a variety of offshore locations enables us to guide clients through the options, balancing all relevant factors to find the most appropriate solution. In addition, domestically we have experience of acting for authorised funds.
