The management company concept was first created to provide assurance of good governance and control with self-managed fund entities and vehicles. As funds proliferated and as the industry matured, the management company concept was born as an entity that would provide the necessary governance, oversight and services.
Since that time, the industry has matured with an increased move towards the provision and use of third-party ManCo services and the establishment of ‘Super ManCos’ – a service offering comprising both UCITS and AIFMD funds.
This report looks at developments in third-party services, Super ManCos, and drivers and challenges in different jurisdictions to consider the current situation of the market and future opportunities.
