We are not a fund manager or distributor - our goal is to protect stakeholders' interests through independent oversight.
From single asset SPVs to multi-manager platforms, we adapt to suit your commercial objectives efficiently and transparently.
We operate under the Corporation Act and, where applicable, hold an Australian Financial Services License (AFSL) or partner with licensed entities.
Our team includes legal, compliance and financial professionals with deep experience across fund governance, trustee obligations, and custody operations.
We understand transaction timelines and structure to move quickly from appointment to execution.
All custody arrangements are subject to written agreements and monitored under robust compliance frameworks.
If you're preparing an Information Memorandum, lodging a PDS, or launching your next wholesale fund, we can assist with trustee appointment, structuring, compliance and custody.
