An investment syndicate is a group of investors who pool their capital to invest in private market deals, typically led by a syndicate lead who manages the investment and handles administration.
The SCSp (Special Limited Partnership) in Luxembourg is a flexible, tax-transparent structure offering regulatory efficiency, particularly beneficial for European and international syndicates due to its compliance with EU standards.
Fundequate offers tools for structuring, onboarding, reporting, and compliance, simplifying the syndicate’s lifecycle and providing expertise in Luxembourg’s regulatory and tax frameworks.
Typically, the syndicate setup involves defining the SCSp structure, registering the partnership, drafting the Limited Partnership Agreement (LPA), appointing a General Partner (GP), and completing regulatory filings.
An SCSp comprises limited partners (LPs) whose liability is limited to their capital contributions and a general partner (GP) who holds unlimited liability but often has legal safeguards in place.
The SCSp must adhere to Luxembourg’s AML/KYC, tax, and financial reporting standards, and depending on its activities, may need to comply with AIFMD (Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive) regulations.
Fundequate’s platform streamlines onboarding with automated KYC/AML processes, document management, and investor accreditation verification to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
Typically, syndicates distribute profits based on capital contributions, with the syndicate lead receiving a management fee and sometimes a share of the profits (carried interest) based on agreed terms.
Common exit strategies include asset sales, IPOs, or secondary sales of investment stakes, with Fundequate supporting documentation, tax compliance, and distribution of returns at the exit phase.
