‘Discovery' will be structured as a Cayman Islands Segregated Portfolio Company (‘SPC’), offering both EU and non-EU domiciled investment managers the opportunity to utilise a prompt and cost-effective 'plug-and-play' solution for multiple jurisdictions, while still offering fund managers the safety they would expect from operating their own dedicated fund structure. Funds can be launched within four-weeks under Cayman Islands law and in line with AIFMD regulations. Each ‘Discovery’ sub-fund has segregated liability and is therefore protected from the inherent risks of other managers’ portfolios.

“'Discovery' is simply unparalleled in the market. There is nothing comparable out there in terms of launch speed, flexibility and protection. The Cayman Islands structure gives managers access to a global investors base in a cost efficient way.”, says Gerhard Grueter, Managing Director at Lawson Conner.

Key features and benefits:

· Speed to market – set up of investment structure in less than four weeks

· Access to best in class counterparties at minimal ongoing costs

· Segregated liability – no risk of contagion between portfolios

· Includes the additional capital requirement introduced by the AIFM Directive

· Integrated experienced capital introduction team

· Offers the possibility to appoint a third party manager

· Efficient processes and reliable governance solution
