We have a comprehensive range of banking solutions to support your fund and all of the holding company entities below the master holding company, so you never need to go to a third-party bank to open a cash account.

Access E.U. Markets Without Full-Scope Requirements

U.S., U.K., and Asia-based managers appoint us as their depositary so they can expand into Europe. Whether through full-scope UCITS, AIFMD compliance, or Depo-Lite solutions, we tailor access to European markets to fit your strategy.

Invest While Raising Capital

We support all aspects of capital raising including shares issuance, register monitoring, KYC compliance, portal setup, capital-call notices, payment tracking, fee calculations, and more. We also offer fund financing, and FX solutions to help you get started smoothly.

Form New Funds and SPVs

We simplify setup with fast bank account opening, blocking certificate issuance, domiciliation, accounting, regulatory services, UBO registers, and more. All these steps help ensure a seamless launch for your Luxembourg SPVs and fund structures.

Simplify Regulatory Compliance

Stay aligned with evolving E.U. and cross-border regulations. Our regulatory team actively engages with ALFI, LPEA, LuxReal, and global industry bodies to promote consistent and compliant depositary practices.
