One of the most significant recent trends in the global fund industry is that all parties involved are now focusing on the issue of sound corporate governance and the appointment of independent directors is now central to the integrity of hedge fund operations.

Athena provides up to two individuals experienced in corporate governance and approved by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority to act as independent directors of investment funds and Cayman registered investment managers together with the provision of specialised corporate services, tailored for the investment funds industry. 

Our sophisticated service to investment funds is drawn from several years of industry experience.  We provide effective management and a commercial approach whilst having extensive knowledge of the Cayman legal and regulatory regime.  We can liaise effectively with all parties concerned from the regulators to the service providers of the fund, negotiating terms of business with both the agents of the fund and market counterparties.

We have an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the structures commonly used in investment fund transactions and the many different types of funds including the following:

• Stand Alone - Single and Multi-Class corporate funds
• Side by Side or Parallel Funds
• Umbrella Funds
• Master / Feeder Structures
• Limited Partnerships
• Hedge Funds
• Private Equity Funds
• Registered, Administered and Licensed Funds
• Segregated Portfolio Companies

The specialist experience of our Managing Director as the former Group Team Leader of Investment Funds in a major offshore law firm extends to knowledge of derivatives, the Cayman regulatory regime, Cayman Islands Stock Exchange listing requirements and risk management.
