Funds Avenue S.A. provides Board Directors or Managers who have a minimum of 15 years’ experience in the fund industry, covering administration, operations, portfolio management and risk.
Our team provides hands-on expertise in navigating regulatory obligations, shaping effective compliance practices, and managing the impact of evolving regulations.
We support clients by reviewing investment and distribution processes, designing and updating risk-based compliance frameworks, and ensuring operational oversight across delegates, assets, and investors. This cohesive approach helps both sub-threshold and large-scale funds stay fully compliant, while maintaining governance structures that are both efficient and scalable.
We deliver end-to-end Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorism Financing (CFT) solutions designed to help funds comply with Luxembourg’s regulatory framework while safeguarding the highest compliance standards.
Luxembourg law requires each fund to appoint both a Responsable du respect des obligations (RR) and a Responsable du contrôle du respect des obligations (RC). The RR role is typically performed by the Board of Directors as a whole or by one of its members, while the RC must be an individual with proven expertise in Luxembourg’s AML/CFT requirements and an understanding of the fund’s investment and distribution model.
As RC, we oversee and review AML policies, conduct annual risk assessments covering high-risk investors, politically exposed persons, distribution risks, suspicious activity, blocked accounts and more. We report findings to the RR and, where necessary, to the Financial Intelligence Unit. Acting as the main contact point with Luxembourg’s competent authorities, we ensure all obligations are met. We also monitor administrators through risk-based due diligence, evaluate reporting and KPIs, provide regular reporting to Fund Boards, and deliver annual AML/CFT training. When an external RC is already in place, we can provide complementary support.
Beyond core RC responsibilities, we offer broader AML/CFT services such as drafting and updating policies, implementing and refining processes, and enhancing compliance frameworks through continuous monitoring. For sub-threshold AIFs, our support extends to preparing AML/CFT documentation for market entry, producing annual reports and questionnaires, updating risk-based policies, and supervising delegates, assets and investors. Where needed, we coordinate with external auditors and cover areas such as transaction monitoring, conflicts of interest, whistleblowing, cyber resilience, fraud, and complaints management.
Through this integrated approach, we help funds build resilient AML/CFT governance, strengthen risk management, and ensure continuous compliance with Luxembourg regulations.
We provide full-spectrum risk management solutions designed to oversee and monitor risks across the entire investment process. From fully regulated funds to sub-threshold AIFs, our frameworks are tailored to each fund’s investment strategy and regulatory obligations.
Our support covers the full cycle of risk management: defining the fund’s risk profile, contributing to the prospectus, reviewing investment restrictions both before and after trades, and monitoring key risk metrics. We also handle the production and distribution of risk reports, together with oversight of NAV calculations.
Depending on your structure and needs, our services scale from comprehensive frameworks to leaner options. For example, boutique funds can benefit from streamlined governance through quarterly risk reporting, ensuring compliance while keeping operations efficient.
We offer dedicated portfolio agency services designed to strengthen both portfolio management and oversight. By aligning investment activity with administrative requirements, we help ensure seamless coordination, transparency, and compliance.
Our services cover every key aspect of portfolio governance, from pre-trade investment compliance and order routing to active support for investment committees. For sub-threshold AIFs, these services are adapted to fit the scale of the structure providing robust safeguards and governance without adding unnecessary complexity.
Our fund management professionals are trained in using advanced platforms such as Next Gate Tech, which automates data management and provides real-time analytics for NAV oversight, risk monitoring, and investment compliance; Bloomberg, delivering global market data and insights to support informed investment decisions; and World-Check, a leading compliance screening tool that strengthens our AML/CFT due diligence processes. By combining these technologies with our expertise, we deliver efficient, accurate, and fully compliant fund management services. Our infrastructure meets the EU’s Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) requirements, ensuring the highest standards of operational resilience and cybersecurity for your fund operations.
We act as the orchestra conductor for our clients and their operations, coordinating every aspect of fund management to ensure all elements work seamlessly together.
