What is the scope of services SGSS provides to alternative asset managers?
Any company managing alternative funds in private equity, real estate or private debt faces the challenge of identifying and selecting investments, managing investor relations and the duty of compliance with a raft of regulations including AIFM II, MiFID II, SFDR and CRS. To focus on its core business – generating value for clients -, it is vital for an alternative fund manager to have the support of a qualified service provider.
With a specific structure dedicated to alternative investment vehicles, SGSS offers a comprehensive solution to support its clients at all the key stages of a fund's life, from launch, including preparation or review of fund documents (rules, statutes, prospectus, application form), to closure, via the development phase, including bookkeeping, administrative and accounting management, liability management, notably including capital calls, regulatory reporting and reports for investors, as well as currency transactions and financing requests.
Like all departments of Societe Generale, SGSS has access to all the expertise of the Group and is thus able to meet the financing needs of alternative managers as well as many other value-added needs.
Many of our clients are already benefiting from this financing offer during their start-up or investment phases.
In particular, Societe Generale has developed an "Equity Bridge Financing" offer dedicated to Private Markets funds governed by French or Luxembourg law. The amounts and duration are adaptable to closely support our clients throughout the lifecycle of their funds.
