Fund Markets

Your point of contact for individual private label fund solutions

We at Bank Frick offer you all the banking services you need to optimally set up and implement your private label fund solution. Our core service is acting as the custodian and paying agent for funds under European law (UCITS and AIFM guidelines).

We also offer modular services for collective investment schemes domiciled in the United Kingdom or outside of Europe, provided the structures meet European standards with regard to transparency and legal compliance. Officials such as fund managers and administrators can also benefit from our banking services.

 

This is our modular offer for asset managers, fund administrators or investment advisers:

• Custodian for funds under AIFM and UCITS law (Liechtenstein)
  
  We assume the custodian duties prescribed by law for funds domiciled in Liechtenstein. This includes the custody of securities and other assets, investment limit control, NAV plausibility checks, the role of paying agent, and the processing of share transactions, as well as cash flow monitoring and asset servicing (corporate actions).
• Outstanding consulting expertise
  
  We can provide you with expert advice on all fund-related matters. Do you require support to embed a specific investment theme into a solution that conforms to your target market?
• In-house SICAV structure for your white label sub-funds
  
  We make our existing umbrella structure (SICAV) available to our clients so they can set up their own sub-fund easily and efficiently.
• Fund solutions with cryptocurrencies
  
  At Bank Frick, we possess a wealth of knowledge on this topic. We were the first European bank to assume a corresponding custodian mandate as early as 2018, and since then, we have been the preferred point of contact for funds focusing on digital assets.
• In addition to fully dependable custody, we also attach great importance to reliable trading lines that meet the high security requirements of institutional investors.
• Feasibility analyses for alternative underlying assets
  
  Your fund solution must meet the legal requirements and make economic sense. We are at your side to advise you so we can develop resilient concepts for investments in alternative assets together.
• Welcome to our network
  
  We have an extensive network that we activate for your benefit – for tax, legal and administrative matters.
• Serious project coordination
  
  A good fund solution thrives on the solid interaction between the involved parties, from the idea generator to the custodian to the fund administration. We reconcile all interests and requirements and can even take on the role of central coordinator if desired.
• Special purpose vehicles and transaction structuring
  
  Special requests require special solutions. Under certain circumstances, it may be sensible to model certain parts of an investment strategy via dedicated legal entities. Together with our Capital Markets team, we will develop the best possible solution for you.
• Access to the whole Bank Frick universe
  
  We provide access to business accounts, complete your payment transactions, enable trading with foreign currencies (FX; spot and forward), and review your financing enquiries.
• Direct market access
  
  Time is money! Your fully automatic connection to our renowned online brokers is an ideal solution if you are pursuing algorithmic trading strategies or are active in markets with greater time differences.
• Multi-asset trading desk
  
  Make use of our in-house trading desk. In addition to the classics such as shares, currencies, funds and derivatives, with us, you can also invest in crypto assets – without you having to deal with the complex background processes.
