When a manager wishes to distribute a fund into the UK it will need to ensure that the rules on ‘Facilities in the United Kingdom’ from the FCA Handbook (COLL 9.4) are complied with. Ascender Fund Partners can help funds meet their COLL 9.4 obligations by providing UK Facilities Agent Services with a UK address where:
Investors can inspect fund documentation (COLL 9.4.2)
Investors can source the latest price of units in the fund (COLL 9.4.3)
Investors can arrange for the redemption of their holding (COLL 9.4.3)
Investors can submit complaints relating to the fund (COLL 9.4.5)
Ascender Fund Partners operates through regulated management companies in Ireland and Luxembourg, and representative offices in London and Chicago.
Each entity complies with its local jurisdiction’s rules and governance frameworks under UCITS and AIFMD.
The UK Facilities Agent acts on behalf of Ascender Fund Partners (Ireland) Ltd to provide investor support services in the United Kingdom.
