Depositary services

Langham Hall expert offering AIFMD depositary services for alternative investment funds

We provide UK and Luxembourg depositary services for Luxembourg, UK and non-EU AIFs marketed to EU professional investors, delivering pragmatic oversight and robust controls.

We act as depositary to more than 300 AIFs across private equity, real estate, debt and infrastructure, with oversight of more than $200bn of depositary assets.

We work closely with finance and compliance teams to implement procedures that meet AIFMD requirements while remaining proportionate and non-intrusive. Our role is to strengthen governance, protect investors and support managers through scrutiny from regulators, auditors and LPs.

提供サービス

Depositary responsibilities under AIFMD include:

  • Cash flow monitoring
  • Ownership verification and safe-keeping of assets, including custody where relevant
  • Oversight of the AIFM, including oversight of subscriptions and redemptions, valuation processes, investment restrictions and settlement controls

Depositary-lite (NPPR)

Non-EU AIFs marketed in certain EU jurisdictions via NPPR, such as Germany and Denmark, may be required to appoint a depositary-lite provider. We support managers with depositary-lite services from our London office, which is directly authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority.

Where we deliver

  • UK - We provide stand-alone depositary and depositary-lite services across alternative asset strategies for UK and other non-EU managers, supporting both open and closed-ended structures.
  • Luxembourg - Langham Hall Luxembourg is authorised to act as depositary for private equity, real estate, debt and infrastructure funds. The service complements our Luxembourg administration, transfer agency, domiciliation and host AIFM capability where required.
