Features of legal support for asset management companies

Asset management company: what's important to know

An asset management company is a professional structure that organizes the management of assets belonging to investment funds or other investment projects. An AMC can be part of a broader business model for managing real estate, corporate rights, securities, investment portfolios, or other assets.

Legal support for an AMC is needed in order to properly form the corporate structure, prepare documents, take into account asset management requirements, and ensure a clear model of interaction between the company, the fund, investors, and other participants.

When a business needs an AMC

An asset management company can be relevant for investors, developers, financial groups, holding structures, and businesses planning to manage assets through an investment fund or a separate financial structure. This format allows for centralized management, formalizing investor rights, and structuring long-term projects.

Most often, an AMC is considered for working with corporate or unit investment funds, real estate investment projects, portfolio assets, corporate rights, and other instruments requiring professional management.

Legal structure of the AMC and the investment fund

Before launching an asset management company, it’s important to determine which structure is planned: an AMC as a separate company, a corporate investment fund, a unit investment fund, or another asset management model. This determines the list of documents, the procedure for interaction with investors, and further legal obligations.

Key elements that should be provided for in the structure:

  • the AMC’s role in relations with the fund, investors, and asset owners
  • the procedure for asset management and investment decision-making
  • documents for attracting investors and contributing assets
  • internal rules, control, compliance, and risk management

What documents are needed to establish and support an AMC

The list of documents depends on the operating model, the type of investment fund, the assets, and the business goals. Typically, legal support for an asset management company requires:

  • corporate documents of the asset management company
  • internal regulations, rules, and procedures for the AMC’s operation
  • documents for the corporate or unit investment fund
  • agreements with investors, partners, and other participants in the structure
  • documents on assets, contributions, management, and reporting

In some cases, documents are also needed for officers, compliance policies, risk management procedures, financial materials, ownership structure information, and documents for regulatory support.

Mistakes when establishing an asset management company

An improperly prepared AMC structure can lead to legal risks, difficulties launching the fund, problems with investors, documents, or further support of operations. The most common mistakes:

  • establishing an AMC without a clear investment model and understanding of the assets
  • an incomplete package of internal documents and procedures for the company
  • unregulated relations between the AMC, the fund, investors, and partners
  • ignoring compliance, reporting, and risk management requirements

That is precisely why establishing an asset management company should be planned comprehensively: with analysis of the investment model, preparation of corporate documents, internal procedures, agreements, and further legal support.
