Hedge Funds and Alternative Asset Management
Alternative fund sponsors competing globally for investor capital require tax-effective investment structures that stand up to multijurisdictional regulatory scrutiny – as do investors. With precision and efficiency, we structure and document alternative investment funds and platforms that work.
Canadian and international hedge fund and other alternative asset managers turn to our team to establish complex structures that are described with clarity and simplicity to appeal to investors across multiple jurisdictions. We know what investors care about – and we use that knowledge to help you establish fund terms that meet the needs of all stakeholders.
Sponsors managing all types of strategies and asset classes – be it long-short, opportunistic, event-driven, trend-following, activist or otherwise in equity, fixed income, private credit, structured products, derivatives, commodities or longer-term exposures – trust us to develop innovative domestic and offshore structures that align interests and maximize tax and operative efficiencies. We leverage our international tax fluency and adeptness with global master-feeder and other structures to get you the best possible results.
Whether domestic or international, compliance is paramount, and missteps can have material consequences for performance and reputation. Thanks to our long-standing relationships with securities regulators and tax administrators, we deliver credibility and certainty that your fund structure will pass regulatory muster.
