Fund governance

We assist third-party fund clients with legal structuring, fund governance and risk management.

A comprehensive service offering

We work with our clients to cover governance and legal issues, as well as risks relating to their funds so asset managers can focus on their main business.

When clients choose us as the management company for their fund, we provide the full range of governance services. When we do not act as management company, clients may nevertheless select from our services separately according to their needs.

To ensure that our fund services are distinguished from other parts of the Pictet Group and comply with industry regulations, we offer all fund services through FundPartner Solutions (FPS), two independent fund management companies.

Fund setup: legal and governance advices

During our first meeting, a relationship manager will be assigned as your contact person. He will be accompanied by a specialist who will help you set up and register the fund as your needs dictate. Your relationship manager's role will then be to identify the pros and cons of possible fund structures, taking account of your overall objectives.
