IFIA and AIMA launch the revised Guide to Sound Practices for Hedge Fund Administrators
18/09/2009

We are pleased to announce the publication of the revised Guide to Sound Practices for Hedge Fund Administrators in conjunction with AIMA. The Guide, originally published in 2004, has benefited from significant updating by the industry Alternative Investment Committee to reflect various industry developments in areas such as valuations, tax and anti-money laundering.

The section on valuation, one of the most crucial and topical subjects in the industry, includes the IFIA Sample Pricing Policy Document as an appendix. This document also prepared by the Alternative Investment Committee provides detailed guidance and examples of what a sample pricing policy might contain. The Guide includes sections on a fund’s start up phase; how administrators interact with a fund’s investors; how the net asset value is calculated; and the additional services and support functions that administrators provide.

The Guide highlights the progressive thought leadership of the industry in Ireland as the leading jurisdiction in the servicing of alternative investment funds.
