Expert FundMauritius

An Expert Fund is an investment fund specifically targeted at accredited investors, recognised as Expert Investors under the Collective Investment Schemes.

An expert investor is defined as:

(i)  An investor who makes an initial investment of not less than USD 100,000; or

(ii) A sophisticated investor as per the Securities Act 2005.

The expert fund enjoys exemption from the numerous stringent provisions that form a governance stranglehold over global funds. It opens the doorway to reshape investment boundaries from the perspective of investment strategy and risk appetite.

Need an experienced fund administrator to set up your fund?

How can it be set up?

It can take the legal form of an umbrella fund, single class, multi-class, multi-currency, fund of funds, PCC, master fund or feeder fund.

The Expert Fund can be established as a self-managed fund (managed by its board of director) or by appointing a fund/cis manager.
