Emerging managers

Langham Hall employees supporting emerging managers

We work with spinout and start-up managers from day one, giving them direct access to experienced senior leadership who personally guide the setup of their business and first fund – from structure and regulation through to operations and investor reporting.

What we do

Langham Hall specialises in supporting managers at the earliest stage of their journey, giving them hands-on access to senior partners whilst providing the infrastructure that investors expect from an institutional platform. From regulatory hosting to fund administration, accounting and reporting, we deliver the high standards required from day one – allowing you to focus on investment strategy.

Beyond the operational framework, our partners act as sounding boards and advisors. They offer practical guidance on domicile selection, marketing rules, investor reporting, ESG integration and fund finance, helping new managers to meet investor scrutiny and scale with confidence.
