Fund structures and family offices.
Choosing where to domicile a fund or family office, and how to structure it, decides how investors are taxed, which regulator supervises it and where people must be based. The answer differs for a closed-ended fund, a single-family office and a multi-family office.
What the business is trying to achieve.
Fund sponsors, family principals and their advisers setting up or relocating a fund, holding company or family office.
A structure and location that fit the investors, the strategy, the family's needs and the substance the chosen jurisdiction expects.
From objective to agreed work.
Each step is agreed before it starts. Specialist firms are engaged by you directly and remain responsible for their own advice.
Your commercial objective, markets and constraints are reviewed, and the requirement is restated in plain language.
The decisions are organised in order, with the evidence each depends on and the questions that need qualified advice.
The disciplines and firms needed are identified across the six institutions and the independent firms beyond them.
If you proceed, the coordination scope, deliverables and any coordination fee are agreed in writing.
Where contracted, UNBOUNDED coordinates the work plan, milestones and decision points with the engaged firms.
Defined deliverables.
The deliverables that apply depend on the agreed scope. Professional deliverables, such as opinions, filings and documents, come from the firms you engage.
Funds law, regulatory, private client tax, fiduciary and fund administration services.
Clear terms.
UNBOUNDED's role is research and coordination. Regulated legal, tax, audit, financial and other professional advice is provided only under separate engagements.
Regulatory applications, fund documents and tax advice are prepared by licensed firms. UNBOUNDED does not market funds or seek investors for them.
Submitting a requirement is free. A coordination fee, where one applies, is agreed in writing once the scope is known. Professional fees are agreed with the firms directly.
UNBOUNDED never takes a referral or success fee from any firm.
Nothing confidential is needed at first contact. Private requirements are never used as general research or for AI training.
