Private family fund setup & administration services
Private family funds are bespoke investment structures designed to centralise and professionally manage a family’s wealth.
At Praxis, we provide comprehensive setup and administration of private family funds, offering institutional-grade rigour with the personalisation and discretion families require. Whether you’re consolidating investment activities, facilitating intergenerational wealth transfer, or enhancing governance, our cross-border team ensures your fund structure is compliant, efficient, and built to last.
Our private family fund services include:
- Fund vehicle structuring:
We advise on the optimal legal structure and jurisdiction for your private family fund, whether a limited partnership, unit trust, or private investment company - balancing confidentiality, investor eligibility, tax efficiency, and regulatory requirements. - Regulatory setup and liaison:
We manage any regulatory filings, exemptions, or notifications, ensuring your fund operates legally under light-touch regimes where available, such as private fund exemptions or family office carve-outs. - Fund launch coordination:
From preparing term sheets and coordinating with investment managers to setting up banking, custody, and brokerage arrangements, we project-manage the entire launch to ensure seamless setup. - Ongoing fund administration:
We handle all operational elements post-launch, including capital calls, distributions, investor registry updates, and changes in holdings, ensuring accurate records and efficient management. - Accounting and NAV calculations:
We calculate the fund’s Net Asset Value (NAV) at agreed intervals, accurately pricing assets and accounting for income, fees, and expenses to give you a clear, auditable view of fund performance. - Investor reporting:
We prepare tailored investor reports - covering performance, asset breakdowns, and individual holdings and can facilitate family investor meetings or calls for regular portfolio updates. - Compliance and oversight:
We monitor the fund’s adherence to its investment mandate and legal obligations, managing AML checks and supporting governance through independent directors or advisory boards when needed.
- Fund audit and tax support:
We coordinate statutory or voluntary fund audits and collaborate with your tax advisers to complete filings or provide reporting data for investor tax returns and compliance needs.
