Investment Management

Investment Management refers to the services we offer to investors that ensure the professional management of their assets in collective or individual form.

When developing collective investment schemes and other products and turning ideas into reality, providers of financial products trust the know-how of experienced teams.

KPMG Europe LLP is as international in its structure as is the investment industry. It is part of the global financial services network which spans the EMEA (Europe, Middle East & Africa), Asia Pacific, and Americas regions.

The KPMG team advises on all areas of Investment Management and of the Collective Investment Schemes Act, including, but not limited to:

  • Setting up collective investment schemes 
      - Contractual funds
      - SICAV's
      - Limited partnerships for collective investment schemes
      - SICAF's
      - Investment foundations 
      - Non-regulated investment products
  • Preparing and adapting internal rules and regulations for licensees
  • Handling licensing and approval applications made to the supervisory authority.

We assist our clients with implementing the legal and regulatory provisions, clarify any issues relating to the applicability of the Collective Investment Schemes Act (KAG), and advise in connection with investment foundations and all areas of the Investment Management business.

Teams of lawyers, auditors, tax advisors, and real-estate specialists design customized solutions and strategies that address the key issues of investment managers: growth, performance, and governance.
