Investment Funds
Fund structuring, manager compliance and lifecycle admin across Cayman, BVI, Bahamas, Lux, UAE.
ASJ Group structures private funds — closed-end PE and VC, open-end hedge, hybrid credit and tokenised vehicles — across Cayman, BVI, the Bahamas, Luxembourg and the UAE. We work with first-time managers scaling into an institutional wrapper and established GPs launching parallel vehicles.
The design decision is a triangle: investor base, strategy, and cost of ongoing compliance. We size the wrapper to the fund's actual capital-raise trajectory — not the biggest wrapper the manager could theoretically justify.
Every fund is built with independent directors, administrator selection, audit and legal counsel coordinated under a single director-led project. Substance is designed into the structure from the first day rather than retrofitted at year-end.

Questions we hear on every intake call.
- How much AUM do I need to launch a fund?
- For a Cayman or BVI wrapper, most first-time managers launch with $10m–$30m in soft commitments. Below that a managed account or SPV is usually more cost-efficient.
- How long does it take to launch a Cayman fund?
- Six to twelve weeks from engagement to first close, assuming manager KYC and PPM negotiation run in parallel.
- Do I need independent directors?
- For any fund accepting third-party capital, yes — both for governance and because most institutional investors require it in the LPA.
