XEQ Capital’s Fund Solutions offering provides External Portfolio Managers, Family Offices, and Fund Sponsors with a comprehensive and regulated environment to establish and administer investment portfolios. Underpinned by strong governance practices and stringent AML/KYC procedures, the platform delivers institutional-grade infrastructure, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
A regulated sub-fund hosting platform that allows external managers to operate within XEQ Capital's CMS Licence No. CMS101602 umbrella. Each sub-fund is legally ring-fenced under Section 29 of the VCC Act. XEQ Capital acts as the appointed fund manager and assumes regulatory accountability to MAS.
Fund Solutions is not a generic incubator. It is a specific solution for investment professionals who have a strategy, a track record, and a capital base - but need regulated infrastructure to formalise and scale.
You have a track record managing capital at a bank, asset manager, or family office. You want to launch your own fund without the 12-18 month timeline and S$500K+ cost of obtaining a standalone MAS CMS licence.
You manage discretionary mandates for HNW clients across private bank platforms. You want to consolidate those mandates into a regulated fund structure with proper governance, without disrupting existing relationships.
Your family office has identified a deal or strategy where you want to bring in co-investors. A ring-fenced VCC sub-fund provides the legal structure to pool capital without commingling family assets with external investor capital.
You operate a Cayman SPC or BVI fund and want to re-domicile to Singapore for tax treaty access, FATF standing, and institutional investor credibility. XEQ Capital can act as the appointed MAS-licensed fund manager post-transfer.
Every sub-fund launched under the platform operates within the same institutional governance framework. The components below are standard - not optional add-ons.
ACRA-registered VCC sub-fund with statutory s.29 ring-fencing. Separate legal identity from all other sub-funds in the umbrella.
XEQ Capital's compliance policies, MAS regulatory reporting (Form 1, Form 2), and conduct framework apply to all sub-funds. XEQ assumes regulatory accountability to MAS.
Full KYC/CDD screening per MAS Notice SFA 04-N02. Accredited Investor classification under SFA s.4A. Enhanced due diligence for PEPs and high-risk jurisdictions.
Third-party fund administrator handles NAV calculation, investor register management, and subscription/redemption processing. Operationally independent from XEQ's investment function.
Sub-fund assets are held with independent, MAS-regulated custodians. Neither XEQ Capital nor the external manager holds client assets directly.
Annual audit by an ACRA-registered auditor as required under the VCC Act 2018. XEQ coordinates the audit process and MAS reporting obligations.
Qualifying sub-fund managers may be introduced to XEQ Capital's accredited investor network and co-investment relationships, subject to strategy fit and XEQ's internal approval process.
Direct access to XEQ Capital's investment and compliance team throughout the sub-fund lifecycle. Not a ticketing system - a working relationship with the principals.
Each sub-fund operates under a defined Investment Policy Statement (IPS) agreed between XEQ and the external manager. The IPS governs permitted investments, concentration limits, and risk parameters.
The process is structured to move at the pace of the manager - not a bureaucratic intake queue. XEQ Capital's team works directly with you at each stage.
Submit an enquiry via the form below. XEQ Capital's team will review your strategy, track record, and proposed investor base. If there is a fit, we schedule a direct call with the investment principals - not a business development intermediary.
XEQ Capital conducts due diligence on the manager and proposed strategy. A bespoke Investment Policy Statement (IPS) is drafted, defining permitted investments, concentration limits, reporting obligations, and fee structure. Legal documentation for the sub-fund is prepared in parallel.
The sub-fund is registered with ACRA under the XEQ Capital VCC umbrella. Investor KYC/AML onboarding, custody arrangements, and fund administration are activated. The sub-fund is operational and ready to receive subscriptions.
No. External managers operating as a sub-fund under XEQ Capital's VCC umbrella benefit from XEQ's existing CMS Licence No. CMS101602. XEQ Capital acts as the appointed fund manager and assumes regulatory accountability to MAS. However, managers must meet MAS fit and proper requirements and comply with XEQ Capital's governance framework. If your long-term plan involves managing third-party capital independently at scale, you may eventually need your own CMS licence - XEQ can advise on that transition.
Investment decisions within the agreed Investment Policy Statement (IPS) are made by the external manager. XEQ Capital's role as fund manager involves oversight, compliance, and governance - not day-to-day portfolio management of the sub-fund's strategy. The IPS defines the boundaries. Within those boundaries, the external manager operates with full discretion.
No. Section 29 of the VCC Act 2018 provides statutory ring-fencing between sub-funds. The assets of your sub-fund can only be used to meet liabilities attributable to your sub-fund. Creditors of your sub-fund have no recourse to assets held in any other sub-fund within the XEQ Capital VCC umbrella. This is a statutory protection - not a contractual arrangement.
All sub-funds under the XEQ Capital VCC umbrella are offered exclusively to Accredited Investors and Institutional Investors as defined under Section 4A of the Securities and Futures Act 2001. Retail investors cannot participate. All investors undergo KYC/AML screening per MAS Notice SFA 04-N02 before being admitted to any sub-fund.
Yes, in principle. Part 12 of the VCC Act 2018 provides a direct re-domiciliation mechanism for foreign corporate fund structures to transfer registration to Singapore as a VCC. XEQ Capital can act as the appointed MAS-licensed fund manager post-transfer. The re-domiciliation process requires ACRA approval, legal counsel, and coordination with the existing fund's service providers. Timeline and feasibility depend on the specific fund's structure and investor base.
Cannot verify: exact timelines depend on sub-fund complexity, investor onboarding requirements, and ACRA registration processing times. As a general guide, the full process from initial consultation to operational sub-fund typically takes 3-5 months. XEQ Capital will provide a project timeline estimate during the initial consultation based on your specific circumstances.
