Speed to market. All the difference.

Firms within the financial services industry have dedicated much money and time in establishing the quickest, most efficient way in which to deliver investment solutions to clients. For many companies, this means establishing the most fastest methodologies, processes and the understanding of domicile regulatory landscapes to implement launches for funds as quick as possible. Late launches can mean lost revenues and even a lack of client retention.

At Edenbridge, we focus on bringing new funds to market swiftly and efficiently. Our team has extensive experience in launching numerous funds across various jurisdictions, each with its own regulatory timelines. We ensure that all planning captures key regulatory dependencies from the outset during the feasibility and subsequent planning stages. This approach guarantees that we can initiate all regulatory requirements promptly, avoiding any delays in the launch.

Many fund launches not only require a good understanding of operational processes, which can in some instances mean further build and development; naturally, this will mean factoring into timelines. However, we need to ensure that by calling out the key requirements for the particular domicile and mapping these into the planning, we ensure that anything that can be closed out quickly is done so from the start, and anything that requires a longer lead time is tackled quickly and includes the correct documentation.

Regulatory timelines vary based on the location where the fund is to be launched. In certain cases, regulatory approval is clearly defined, provided that all documentation requirements are met upon submission. In other jurisdictions, however, the process may be more prolonged. At Edenbridge, understanding these differences gives us valuable insight to ensure that our planning accounts for these factors from the start, helping to prevent any potential delays in fund regulatory approval.
