Custody Account
— Flexible drawdown and repayment — cash movement usually within 2
business days of notice
— Collateral for the facility is typically secured through a pledge of the
Custody Account. No need for transfers or change of ownership of
underlying fund shares, thus retaining original investment (e.g. fees,
lockups, high watermarks)
— Dynamic haircutting process allows our clients to maintain a more flexible
investment process. Haircut will be based on pre-agreed investment
guidelines
— Investment guidelines are easily quantifiable rules and are set based on
concentration limits, strategy diversification and liquidity profile
