Fund Administration for Hybrid Structures
There has been a recent emergence of hybrid fund structures, which blends the products and benefits from hedge funds and private equity investments. These semi-liquid funds bring operational challenges that requires a manager and an administrator to both understand how to merge the hedge and private equity operational models. Hybrid fund structures can result in waterfall calculations even more complex with the higher asset trading volume, possible series or partnership accounting, complex fee schedules, and non-standard structures with open-ended characteristics.
Mainstream has been the administrator of choice for hybrid funds that invest in private assets in semi-liquid funds.
