Our Services

MAS Applications

We manage every aspect of the application process from choosing the right license to organizing documentation, advising on who, how many, and what type of personnel are required, navigating the MASNET system and advising on any questions from your case officer.

Ongoing Regulatory Support

Post-approval we can provide ongoing advice on matters ranging from the day-to-day processes that should be implemented, organizing your compliance calendar, as well as higher-level questions regarding incident-specific matters. We are experts in nearly every major financial jurisdiction.

Variable Capital Company

The VCC can be either a stand-alone entity or an umbrella structure, similar to a SICAV (Luxembourg), a unit trust (Ireland), or a segregated portfolio company structure (Cayman Islands).  Although the structure and its use is in its infancy, Optionality is already involved with early adopters of the framework.

Internal Audit

Given that many alternative asset managers lack internal resources to segregate appropriate staff for this purpose, Optionality offers a variety of services to assist managers with meeting the internal audit requirements.  Optionality is well positioned to:

  1. Assist managers with executing their own internal audits

  2. Act as an independent internal auditor for the purpose of meeting these regulatory requirements

Rather than merely offering a “tick the box” service, Optionality strives to provide value-add reports that create detailed expectations managers can meet going forward to improve their internal processes and meet regulatory requirements.
