The problem: one desk is not the whole fund

Fund accounting, transfer agency, compliance, sales or the depositary interface: you could explain it to anyone.

Then a meeting brings legal, risk, tax and audit colleagues into the same room, and the conversation moves across the parts of the value chain you have only seen from your desk.

What is missing is a short, structured view of the whole chain, in the jurisdiction you actually work in. Know the FUNDamentals is that view, in three course days.

Who this is for

• Specialists with a few years in one fund function who need to understand the rest of the value chain

• Up-and-coming professionals preparing for a broader role

• Career changers moving into funds from banking, audit or law

• Managers sending a team member who must work across functions
  
  

What you will be able to do after the three days

• See how the functions of the fund value chain in your jurisdiction connect

• Explain what other functions around your desk do, and why they need what they ask you for

• Follow the legal framework, licence holders and the basics of risk management

• Understand NAV calculation, forward pricing, pricing, taxes and auditing

• Judge whether the Fund Officer is your next step
