Fund Administration in Mauritius
Professional fund administration for Mauritius-regulated investment funds: NAV calculation, investor register maintenance, regulatory filings, financial reporting and full back-office support for CIS structures under FSC supervision.
Mauritius is a well-established fund jurisdiction, hosting a growing number of Collective Investment Schemes (CIS), Expert Funds, Specialised Collective Investment Schemes (SCIS), and Global Schemes regulated by the Financial Services Commission (FSC). Fund administration encompasses the operational and compliance functions that keep an investment fund running: net asset value (NAV) calculation, investor register, capital call and distribution processing, regulatory reporting, financial statements and liaison with auditors, regulators and custodians. Our fund administration team provides these services to managers of Mauritius-domiciled funds seeking an experienced local administrator with deep knowledge of the FSC regulatory framework.
Fund Administration Services
NAV Calculation
We calculate the net asset value of the fund at the frequency specified in the fund's constitutive documents (daily, weekly, monthly or quarterly), applying the valuation policies approved by the board. For open-ended funds, NAV per share/unit is communicated to the transfer agent for subscription and redemption processing.
Investor Register / Registrar Services
We maintain the fund's register of investors, recording all share class entries, transfers, conversions and cancellations. The register is kept in accordance with the fund's articles and the FSC's requirements. We issue contract notes, investor statements and capital account reports to investors.
Subscription and Redemption Processing
We process investor subscriptions and redemptions in accordance with the fund's offering document, including verification of subscription documentation, AML/KYC checks on new investors, calculation of subscription/redemption amounts, and coordination with the custodian for settlement.
Regulatory Reporting
We prepare and submit all required regulatory filings to the FSC, including quarterly statistical returns, annual returns, notification of material changes and ad hoc filings required under the Securities Act 2005 and the FSC's CIS Rules. We monitor FSC guidance and ensure the fund remains in good standing.
Financial Statements
We prepare the fund's annual financial statements in accordance with IFRS, coordinating with the fund's auditors to ensure timely completion. Financial statements are presented to the board for approval and filed with the FSC and the Registrar of Companies within the required timeframes.
Investor Reporting
We produce periodic investor reports, including NAV statements, portfolio summaries, capital account statements and distribution notices, delivered directly to investors or through the fund manager's investor portal according to the agreed reporting schedule.
Compliance Monitoring
We monitor the fund's adherence to its investment restrictions, leverage limits and diversification requirements as specified in the offering document and FSC licence conditions, flagging any breaches to the manager and board for prompt remediation.
Onboarding a Fund Administration Mandate
Fund Assessment
We review the fund's offering document, share classes, investment strategy, valuation policy, investor base and existing service provider arrangements to design an administration framework tailored to the fund's specific requirements.
Service Agreement
We execute a Fund Administration Agreement with the fund (acting through its board) specifying the scope of services, reporting frequencies, service level commitments, fee schedule and data security arrangements.
System Setup and Data Migration
We set up the fund on our administration platform, loading all existing investor records, historical NAV data, share class parameters and valuation policies. Where the fund is transferring from another administrator, we manage the data migration and parallel-run reconciliation.
Go Live and Reporting
Upon go-live, we assume full responsibility for the administration functions within scope, commencing NAV production, investor communication and regulatory filing management on the agreed schedule.
