The Arch International collaborates with hedge funds at every stage of their lifecycle. During the establishment phase, we provide guidance on licensing, fund structuring, and formation processes. Following establishment, our services extend to transactional, derivatives, securities, tax, and ERISA capabilities. Additionally, we continue to support managers with ongoing regulatory compliance and enforcement matters. Furthermore, we advise funds engaged in distressed debt investments through our restructuring practice.

In an era marked by significant regulatory transformations in the investment management sector, we prioritize advising our clients on the potential ramifications of regulations worldwide. This includes regulations such as the US Investment Advisers Act, derivatives regulations under the Dodd-Frank Act, the EU Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive, and the Chinese QDLP regime, as well as licensing and business conduct rules applicable to fund operations.

Our close interaction with regulatory bodies in key financial hubs globally enables us to anticipate forthcoming regulations relevant to hedge fund managers. Moreover, our strong partnerships with prime brokers and various professional hedge fund industry associations keep us attuned to the daily challenges faced by hedge funds. This extensive industry network allows us to deliver the dynamic, responsive service that our hedge fund clients expect from us, from inception to downstream activities.
