Best Practise Organisation

Challenges

• The AIFM-Directive has an increasing impact on the organisation of most investment managers
• Moreover the increasing requirements for institutional investors regarding transparency and reporting (extent, frequency)
• Role and self-conception of the relevant functions investment, fund and asset management with their respective various responsibilities in the investment process are often not distinct enough and contradictory

Project approach

• Analysis of existing roles and task scopes as well as instruments accompanying processes
• Examination of interfaces and specific principal-agent relations of the relevant parties involved in the process
• Analysis of relevant bodies (e.g. Investment Committee) and instruments (e.g. property-fund-allocation systematics)
• Contribution of outside-in best practice experience and determination of individual gaps
• Preparation of target image and respective spheres of activity
• Definition of required instruments accompanying the process

Results

• New structure and process map
• Respective role definitions complying with regulatory provisions
• Detailed target task profiles and if applicable respective process model
• Spheres of activity/measurement plans for supporting instruments and tools (key words standards and digitalisation)
