Maestro-Solutions for
Fund Administrators
The burden of increased fund regulation falls heavily on Fund Administrators.
Challenge
As regulations on mutual funds become increasingly onerous so the demands on Fund Administrators rise exponentially:
- Valuations: ensuring that valuations meet regulatory requirements is especially challenging in a world where investments are increasingly complex and hard to value
- Reporting: regulators require more information to be disclosed to shareholders, fund directors and the regulator themselves
- AML: the Fund Administrator is expected to undertake increasing amounts of onerous AML checking, monitoring, reporting and training
GRC-Maestro can be used as a quick and efficient GRC solution for Fund Administrators to meet their legal and regulatory requirements.
Maestro-Solution
As the number of Funds increases globally the need to administer these funds in a fully compliant but cost efficient manner has never been greater, including:
- Propsectus compliance: ensuring that the contractual obligations set out in the fund prospectus have been adhered to by the Investment Manager and the Fund Administrator.
- Unquoted/Illiquid securities: ensuring that securities that are illiquid or unquoted are fairly and consistently valued
- Reconciliations: checking that all broker, custodian, bank and investment managers statements are reconciled, recorded and discrepancies identified and resolved
- Director Reporting: providing the Fund Directors with the periodic information they require to manage the Fund and flag exceptions for them as required.
GRC-Maestro offers Fund Administrators the ability to implement GRC controls to meet the AML requirements in multiple jurisdictions, included risk based enhanced monitoring.
