Depositary Services

Independent Oversight and Safeguarding Investor Interests

The introduction of the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) increased regulatory oversight for alternative investment managers, requiring stricter compliance measures to enhance investor protection. One key requirement is the appointment of an independent depositary to oversee asset safekeeping, cash flow monitoring, and regulatory reporting.

At MS International, we bring extensive experience in asset administration (AUA), helping fund managers confidently navigate these requirements. Our structured processes are designed to align with AIFMD and local regulations, ensuring full transparency and accountability. We help mitigate risk, prevent fraud, and maintain operational efficiency by providing independent oversight. With a focus on security and compliance, we offer fund managers peace of mind, allowing them to concentrate on investment strategies and portfolio growth.
