Meet the Swedish Fund Administration Team

November 19, 2024

At Permian, our Fund Administration team works behind the scenes to ensure seamless operations for our clients. By managing the backbone of fund operations, we enable fund managers to focus on what they do best.

 

Our team delivers a comprehensive suite of services, including investor and FSA reporting, liquidity management and forecasting where investor calls and distributions are important tasks, investor onboarding where we offer a fully outsourced KYC solution, handling of subscription forms for underlying investments, and coordinating with external advisors when there are several parties involved. In short, we take care of the details so our clients can stay focused on their priorities.

Investor Reporting: Intuitive and Accessible

One of our main client deliveries is investor and fund performance reporting. We genuinely understand our clients need to have reports that are intuitive, timely, and accurate. Using our experience with Swedish and international reporting guidelines, we create reports that are easy to absorb and compliant with conventional standards.


The investor reports can be communicated through a secure portal, fully integrated with our portfolio management system, where investors can access their documents.

 

Treasury & Payment: Managing the details

Managing payments and treasury tasks is a core part of keeping funds running smoothly. Large transactions, currency exchanges and cash flow planning involves careful attention. Our team handles these processes, from capital calls to distributions, to make sure each transaction is timely and accurate. This facilitates fund managers’ focus on their work without having to worry about daily transfers, knowing we’ve got the details covered.

 

KYC and Investor Onboarding

Investor onboarding is often the first formal interaction between a fund manager and a new investor, making it a critical process to handle proprerly. A key part of this is the Know Your Customer (KYC) process, which includes client identification and anti-money laundering (AML) checks. These steps are handled carefully to ensure everything meets regulatory standards. This approach gives fund managers and investors a smooth start and a strong foundation for the relationship ahead. Permian also offer a fully outsourced KYC service.

 

Investments and Subscription Forms

Making investment decisions is a significant undertaking for any fund manager, requiring careful adherence to operational and governance protocols. At Permian, we are committed to supporting the process as much as possible. Whether it’s completing essential subscription forms—common in fund-of-fund structures—or gathering key details from underlying investments or parties, our team is here to ensure a smooth and efficient execution.

 

Corporate Secretary: Keeping the formalities in order

Permian also handle the day-to-day corporate governance work in good cooperation with our clients. This includes keeping records from board meetings, managing formal documents, and ensuring everything is kept up to date. Our team’s experience lets fund managers stay focused on investment decision-making while we take care of the behind-the-scenes tasks.
