How it works:
IFI Global researchers give managers tailored short lists to meet their search criteria (ie independent directors, ManCos, service providers or jurisdictions).
All information provided by AFI is confidential. Names of managers using AFI are not revealed – and nor are the entities selected by IFI Global for its shortlists.
Users need to be corporate subscribers to access AFI. Subscribers also receive:
1) Selection Trends Report
AFI publishes a quarterly selection report with proprietary and industry data on manager selection trends.
2) Manager Advisory Alerts
These alerts include information on upcoming regulatory or industry developments which might affect managers’ selection decisions.
IFI Global believes that its fund director database is the most current in the industry. As well as being actively managed it only comprises individuals who meet its standards on independence, experience and capacity.
Fund Directors
IFI Global’s media regularly publish reports on fund domiciliation, especially in FSI, its publication for US managers expanding overseas. IFI Global also hosts events and conducts research on fund domiciliation. This information is shared with users of AFI looking for help with their domiciliation selection decisions.
Fund Domiciles
IFI Global follows developments at ManCos very closely. It has a database of the leading EU ManCos. It also publishes a ManCo Guide for managers. This information is shared with AFI users looking to select a third party ManCo.
ManCos
AFI specialises on fund industry service providers, such as administrators, with digital and sustainable capabilities. IFI Global conducts surveys of fund industry service providers and much of this information is shared with AFI.
Service Providers
Helping managers find the right partners for their funds
Atlantic Fund Intelligence (AFI) is for managers and their advisors looking for independent intelligence on fund jurisdictions, independent directors, third party ManCos and industry service providers. It is often used by US managers looking for advice when coming to Europe or going offshore but is open to all.
