With the spectacular growth in the alternative asset management industry, regulators, industry associations and investors are increasingly demanding that hedge funds dedicate resources to their governance and compliance functions.

ComplianceAsia is most commonly engaged to assist with corporate and individual licensing, market entry into the Asian region and the provision of ongoing compliance support.

We can provide unbiased and independent advice on the appointment of service providers, coordinate introductions to service providers and negotiate terms with them.

In addition ComplianceAsia can coordinate with counsel and advisors in relation to the establishment of the fund, advise on the most suitable structure for the fund and organization of management and advisory entities, assist with

applications or licensing applications as well as exemption filings to regulators and offer advice on best practice compliance arrangements.

Before committing to an investment in hedge funds, more and more asset allocators, funds of funds, family offices and institutions are checking the background and reputation of hedge funds and their managers. ComplianceAsia can provide customized due diligence for funds of funds and other potential investors interested in either funds trading Asian instruments, managers based in Asia or managers who have worked in Asia.
