Fund Administration

There are many traps for the unwary. We have established practice and procedure to ensure a fund is based offshore and, more importantly, remains offshore for tax purposes. We provide awareness briefings and training for executives and managers.

We will provide or introduce offshore directors and fund administrators, and manage the day-to-day running of your fund without falling foul of UK or other tax authorities.

Oasis Alternatives is based in Mayfair, in the heart of UK specialist private equity and hedge fund management. It came into being when the group established its own offshore hedge fund operations.

Starting a new fund is a daunting and costly prospect. Our specialist managers knew precisely what their funds would invest in and when, but had little experience of the legal structures or the mechanics required to establish a tax-efficient offshore fund. They had excellent trade and sales contacts; on management, regulatory and compliance matters their hands-on experience was limited. The fund support group was created to take that pain away and let fund managers concentrate on what they do best.

We have developed in-house expertise and a team of carefully selected advisors, and over time devised procedures to minimise cost and delay. Most people say it takes well over a year to get a new fund structured and off the ground; we expect to do it in eight months or less. It is a complex process involving lawyers, accountants and regulators in multiple time zones and legal jurisdictions, and the structure and documentation must be coordinated with, and signed off as compliant by, all of them.
