01Do I need to identify the asset first?

The SPV approach described here starts with a defined asset, deal or existing fund. If your strategy involves selecting investments over time, explore the Sub-Threshold AIF approach.

02How does the investment reach a bank account?

The SPV issues ISIN-bearing notes backed by the underlying investment. The notes are designed for participating banks and brokers. Acceptance, custody and investor eligibility must be assessed for the particular issuance.

03Can I keep my existing fund structure?

The fund manager approach uses a securitization compartment to invest in the existing fund. Investors hold the resulting notes, while the underlying fund remains in place.

04What if I want to manage a portfolio over time?

The Sub-Threshold AIF approach starts with an investment mandate and allows for an evolving portfolio within the fund’s governing terms. Fund, manager and service-provider arrangements need to be established for the strategy.

05What does “sub-threshold” refer to?

It refers to the manager’s applicable assets-under-management thresholds and conditions. In Luxembourg, registration below those thresholds is distinct from full AIFM authorisation.

Understand the framework
06How do the SPV and AIF approaches differ?

The SPV structure described here wraps a defined underlying investment. The AIF approach starts with a strategy and ongoing investment selection. The instrument, management and holding arrangements differ.

07Can I pool investors or run club deals?

The SPV use cases include club deals and syndicated investments around a defined opportunity. Discuss the asset, the intended participants and their holding arrangements with the team to assess the structure.

08How do I show carry and fees transparently?

Bring the proposed fee and carry arrangements into the structuring conversation. Their treatment and disclosure need to be worked through in the documentation for the specific investment.

Discuss your arrangements
09What are typical minimum tickets?

Minimum tickets depend on the structure and its governing terms. Ask the team about the asset or strategy you have in mind; this website does not set a universal minimum.
