Financial Companies & Investment Vehicles

Our Financial Services Advisory Team specialises in setting up and adminestering of various types of financial companies (including banks) and investment vehicles in various countries and jurisdictions.

In particular, we assist in setting up:

Cypriot Investment Firms (CIFs), that have become, since the enforcement of MiFID in 2007, an even more efficient vehicle for investment service provision all over the European Union.

Private International Collective Investment Schemes in Cyprus that are convenient and softly-regulated, as compared to UCITS, collective investment vehicles for a limited number of investors (up to 100).

BVI Private/Professional Mutual Funds, licensed and regulated investment vehicles for 'eligible investors'

BVI Fund Management/Administration Companies licenced to manage/administer BVI Mutual Funds

Cayman Islands Excluded Companies that are allowed to manage professional mutual funds

Bahamas Financial Companies (mostly Class II Broker/Dealer), properly licensed low cost alternative to securities investment companies elswhere 

Russian Investment Companies licensed to deal with any investment activity (broker/dealer, depository, management of securities) 

Russian Management Companies and Unit Investment Funds of any configuration

With the new tightened regulations in place, setting up a financial company or investment vehicle involves much more time and effort than a simple company formation.

That is why we prefer to know your exact needs and expectations, as well as markets you plan to operate in before we offer a solution and start a project.

Time and costs involved may vary depending on the jurisdiction, type of license and services you need from us.
