Monday 24 June, 2024Delio, a firm that builds digital private market capabilities for financial institutions, has collaborated with client Ventura Capital and other partners to fully digitise and launch its RAIF (Reserved Alternative Investment Fund) investment vehicle framework.
Delio has leveraged its structuring capability so it can act as a single point of contact for investors, delivering a better client experience, mitigating risk and saving time for all parties. Critically, it reduces the administrative load for investors, fund managers and fund administrators, making onboarding processes faster and more efficient.
Delio’s RAIF programme is an asset agnostic, enterprise-grade investment structure that is particularly efficient for global financial firms that want to aggregate investors together quickly. In its typical setup, within the RAIF and its associated framework there are several parties that play integral roles.
While each entity performs essential due diligence on investors, this process often means duplication of effort and requires investors to provide information repeatedly. For instance, investors may find themselves undergoing multiple onboarding processes and submitting documents multiple times across all involved parties.
In collaboration with its client Ventura Capital and other carefully chosen partners, Delio has developed a solution designed to serve as a centralised hub that meets the needs of all stakeholders involved.
Utilising the features of the Delio Core platform, the distribution of opportunities has been digitised, integrating essential functions from all parties. This includes streamlining time-consuming processes such as Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures during investor onboarding, digital subscriptions, as well as showcasing opportunities and facilitating fundraising efforts.
The Delio Core platform also handles all aspects of investor reporting on an ongoing basis including capital calls and quarterly performance reporting.
As a result, investors can expect a seamless and hassle-free experience, engaging with the Delio team and its platform. This approach ensures simplicity and efficiency throughout their investment journey.
Furthermore, Alternative Investment Fund Managers and Fund Administrators stand to gain from reduced manual data collection. Thanks to the capabilities of the Delio Core, they can rely on the platform’s regulatory procedures, enabling them to focus on delivering service to investors.
Alessandra Ricagno, Head of Structuring at Delio, said: “We’re excited to share the extension of our digitally native investment vehicle solutions to include the RAIF structure. This represents a significant step forward in streamlining the deployment of these vehicles, bringing together the efforts of multiple parties into a single, cohesive digital solution.
“Embracing digitalisation opens doors, allowing us to reshape the landscape of structures and drive efficiencies like never before. With our robust digital framework for RAIF investment vehicles now firmly established, we’re eager to extend our support to more AIFMs and Fund Administrators, helping them replicate the success we’ve achieved.”
Gareth Morgan, Co-Chief Executive at Delio, added: “This development marks a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to supporting financial firms looking to continually innovate their private markets strategies and position themselves in a way that allows them to develop and deepen their investor relationships.
“We’re proud to offer a one stop shop solution that not only enhances client experience but also drives efficiency and compliance across the board. Thank you to everyone involved for their dedication and collaboration in making this achievement possible.”
