Portfolio Management
Portfolio Management for UCITS and AIF Structures
A controlled and documented investment process across liquid and illiquid strategies, from decision-making and implementation to transaction oversight and ongoing portfolio monitoring.
Service overview
A clear investment process from decision to monitoring
FundSight’s Portfolio Management function is responsible for investment decisions and the implementation of approved strategies for funds under management.
Portfolio activity is carried out in accordance with the fund’s investment objectives, documentation, applicable restrictions and the Management Company’s governance framework.
Portfolio Management operates as one department with two specialised capabilities: Liquid Strategies and Illiquid Strategies.
The function maintains a documented decision trail and works closely with Risk Management, Compliance, Fund Administration and the Depositary throughout the investment process.
Our scope
Four stages of portfolio management
A simple and traceable process covering the full sequence from the initial decision to ongoing portfolio monitoring.
Investment Decision-Making

Transaction Oversight
Verification of consistency between the investment decision, transaction instruction and executed transaction, with exceptions followed up and documented.
Portfolio Monitoring
