Alternative-asset advisory support examines the reporting, diligence and governance needs of investments outside conventional listed-equity or debt exposure.

Understanding Alternative Asset Advisory Support

Alternative-asset advisory support examines the reporting, diligence and governance needs of investments outside conventional listed-equity or debt exposure.

When to consider this service

Promoters, regulated businesses and compliance leaders assessing an activity-specific regulatory requirement can use this service to clarify a particular issue. A useful starting question is: “Does alternative-asset support include regulated fund management?” Begin with the facts behind that question rather than assuming that a standard package will resolve it.

Scope of work

The engagement can cover the following workstreams. The proposal specifies which apply to your matter and what evidence or specialist input is needed.

  • Map assets structures and service responsibilities.
  • Review valuation reporting and diligence needs.
  • Plan governance and specialist coordination.

Documents and information to prepare

Start with the records below where available. They help establish the facts before a more specific checklist is agreed.

  • Investment mandates.
  • Fund documents.
  • Asset reports.
  • Transaction proposals.

Provide the relevant entity, transaction or reporting period and any existing notice or deadline. Identify missing or inconsistent records so they can be addressed explicitly.

A key issue to resolve

Administrative or analytical support does not confer authorisation to manage regulated investment portfolios.

How the engagement works

  1. Define the question: map assets structures and service responsibilities, using the available investment mandates and the facts you provide.
  2. Examine the evidence: review valuation reporting and diligence needs. Record unresolved information and the assumptions that affect the analysis.
  3. Agree the action: plan governance and specialist coordination. Set the required deliverables, responsible owners and any follow-up or external dependency.

Deliverables, fees and timing

The proposal for Alternative Asset Advisory Support sets out the analysis, documentation or coordination deliverables and the work you retain. The availability of investment mandates, fund documents, asset reports and transaction proposals affects readiness and the amount of follow-up needed. Fees and the working schedule are agreed after that initial assessment. Any required independent report, legal representation or authority application is identified as a separate responsibility where relevant.

Official resources

Use these official resources for the relevant framework. Application to a particular entity, period or jurisdiction requires a separate assessment.
