HYBRID FUND SERVICES
As the alternative investment industry continues to evolve in response to the changing market conditions, investment managers
have had to reinvent themselves to more closely align structure with strategy. By way of example: (i) Hedge fund managers
are utilizing close-ended fund structures to manage investor liquidity in liquid trading strategies and; (ii) Traditional private
equity and real estate managers have had to expand their product offering across a variety of return profiles to accommodate
investor risk requirements. The investment vehicles of choice, the so-called “hybrid funds”, are becoming an increasingly
prevalent phenomena in the alternatives sector.
With characteristics that directly address the investor/investment liquidity mismatch by taking advantage of longer capital
lock-ups, modified high-watermark and complex waterfalls, tiered management fee arrangements, investor friendly investment
structures and investments in both liquid and illiquid securities and products, managers are creating structures that are
increasing the operational and administrative burden associated with operating a fund.
For more than 30 years, Citco has offered high quality administration services to alternative investment firms globally.
