01 / A different business model
A different business model.
Built for the manager, not the platform.
Most fund platforms treat your fund as theirs. We don’t. Six principles have shaped how Alpha works since 2009 — and they’re why some of the most rigorous managers in Europe run their UCITS through us.
Your fund. Not ours.
The investment manager stays in control of the fund launched on our platform — without the full operational burden, or the legal and regulatory risks of running their own vehicle.
Institutional set-up.
Operationally strong and supported by leading best-of-breed service providers. A one-stop shop covering legal advice, regulatory passporting, and independent risk management.
Competitive cost structure.
Indicative all-in operational TER of 15–25 bps for mature funds. Transparent economics without the bundled mark-ups of larger platforms.
Speed to market.
An experienced structuring team capable of launching funds quickly and in a cost-efficient manner. We've done this fourteen times — the playbook is established.
Daily operational support.
After launch, we stay close. Ongoing operational support reduces the administrative burden on investment managers, so the desk can focus on the portfolio.
Leading placement agent.
Alpha UCITS is a leading independent asset raiser for actively managed UCITS funds in Europe — with a proven track record of raising capital for blue-chip managers.
