Constitution to first close.
Managed investment scheme and unit trust establishment for sponsors. We carry the scheme from constitution through to first close.
Scheme establishment is a sequence: constitution, disclosure, deeds and contracts, trustee appointment, AML/KYC framework, operations and compliance set-up, and the periodic reporting cadence. Each step is documented before it is executed.
The constitution is drafted to the scheme; the trustee is appointed under a written instrument; the trustee and trust are established before any subscription is taken. By first close the scheme is operating on the documented terms with the operations cadence already running. The deliverable is a signed constitution, a trustee instrument, deeds and contracts (investment management agreement, CAR Deed, subscription agreement as required), an offer document for the wholesale client base and an operations system setting the scheme cadence.
Scheme establishment is six steps in order.
Each step is documented before it is executed. By first close the scheme is operating on the documented terms with the operations cadence already running.
Constitution
Scheme deed drafted to the strategy, with the trustee and investment manager roles named on instruments.
Disclosure
Disclosure pack drafted to the wholesale client base.
Trustee + custodian
Trustee appointed under written instrument. Trustee and trust established before any subscription is taken.
AML/KYC
AML/CTF framework documented and executable. Designated services scoped against AUSTRAC Rules.
Operations & monitoring
Operations system stood up, CAR training delivered, compliance monitoring cadence set against the firm’s plan.
First close
Scheme operating on documented terms with the operations cadence already running. Reporting register filed from day one.
What this line covers.
Wholesale-only client base
Schemes whose client base sits wholly inside the wholesale or sophisticated investor definition.
Executable investment policy
The sponsor has an executable investment policy and a clearly written investor profile at engagement.
Fund Administration and Registry system available
Stone Leaf Capital provides fund administration and registry services for the scheme, sized to the strategy and the wholesale client base.
What this line doesn’t do.
The boundary is written into the engagement letter, the deed, and the compliance plan. We surface it on the public site so the conversation can start at the right place.
Retail managed schemes
Out of perimeter. We do not establish registered (retail) managed investment schemes.
In-house portfolio management
We do not manage the assets ourselves. The sponsor or an external manager runs the portfolio, subject to the purview of the trustee.
Performance-fee participation
A flat establishment + responsible-entity Trustee and CAR fee is the engagement. We do not participate in performance fees on schemes we are responsible-entity for.
Constitution before subscription. Each step documented before execution.
