PRODUCT OVERVIEW

DMS MANAGEMENT COMPANY SOLUTIONS

Each European domiciled regulated Fund requires the key management functions to be discharged by either the Board of Directors (the “Fund Board”) or by an authorised AIFM or UCITS Management Company.  Within the AIFM or UCITS Management Company model, DMS Investment Management Services (Europe) Limited* (“DMS IMS”) is responsible for key management functions while the Investment Manager is appointed solely for investment management activities, allowing them to focus on this core competency.

1. Hosted Platform Solution

DMS IMS offers a hosted solution on a DMS Platform whereby DMS appoint an Investment Manager who is responsible for the investment management of their Sub Fund.

• Each new Sub Fund permits each Investment Manager to retain their own branding

• Each Sub Fund is legally separated and thereby protected from bankruptcy of other Sub Funds within the Platform.

• DMS IMS hosted management fee covers the following fees; AIFM/Management Company, Administrator, Depositary – fiduciary oversight, Auditor, Directors, Risk and Regulatory Reporting, Company Secretary, MLRO, KIID/ KID production, and hosting and launch coordination

• DMS IMS has taken on all of these expenses directly and, as such, can pass on a single line item cost to Sub Funds for all of the above. By limiting fees to a maximum, a manager can be confident on their Total Expense Ratio.

The key benefit of a hosted solution is speed to market and connectivity with key service providers.

REPORT DETAILS

Annex IV Regulatory filing for all AIFs that are marketing in the EU, not required for UCITS. Generally speaking regulatory assets under management (RAUM) will drive the filing frequency, which can range from quarterly to annual. Note that RAUM differs from net asset value

Form PF Required to be filed by SEC-registered investment advisers who manage any number of private funds with at least $150 million in private fund AUM as of the adviser’s most recent fiscal-year end. Must be filed either quarterly or annually

EMIR - For anyderivative contracts

Both parties to the contract and Central Counterparties (“CCPs”) are obliged to report under EMIR. A party may delegate the reporting task, but must ensure details are reported without duplication . Details must be reported no later than the working day following the conclusion, modification or termination of the contract

Solvency II Typically produced on a quarterly basis, the tripartite report is an industry standard reporting template required by insurers to help them calculate their solvency capital requirements (SCR)

CPO/PQR Form CPO-PQR is part of an ongoing industry trend that requires asset managers to provide information to regulators. CPOs must file quarterly reports with NFA and the CFTC which are based upon the AUM during the reporting period

MiFID / MiFIRTransactionReporting

T+1 reporting is required on virtually all instruments traded on European venues, including non-EU derivative instruments that relate to an EU security or index. Reportable transactions include increases and decreases of notional amounts and the exer-cise of options, warrants or convertibles

The principal Irish legislation is the Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) Act 2010 (the “Act”), as amended by the Criminal Justice Act 2013 (“CJA13”), which implements the Third Anti-Money Laundering Directive, (2005/60/EC), (the “Directive”). Designated Persons are also expected to comply with the Department of Finance Guidance notes issued in February 2012 (“Core Guidance”) and the industry specific guidance notes, which, in the case of Investment entities/funds, the guidance is issued by the Irish Funds in December 2013 (“Sectoral Guidance”).

In Luxembourg, the princical legislation is the Law of 12 November 2004, the Law of 27 October 2010 and the Law of 13 February 2018 which transposes the Fourth Anti-Money Laundering Directive. Further requirements have been introduced by the CSSF under Circular 12-02 and Designated Persons are also expected to comply with the ALFI recommendations aimed at reducing the risk of money laundering and terrorist financing in the Luxembourg fund industry.
