Funds of Funds

Streamline your fund administration services

Private equity fund of funds (FOFs) provide investors with exposure to a diversified portfolio of private equity investments that would otherwise be difficult to access due to high minimum investment requirements, lengthy lock-up periods, and the need for specialized knowledge and expertise.

Outsourcing your fund administration can help fund of funds to ensure accurate and timely reporting and stay up-to-date with changing regulatory requirements. With a partner like Gen II, you can breathe easy knowing your fund’s accounting and back-office functions are well in hand and being administered by experts.

Gen II offers you and your investors an administrative team that understands a fund of funds investment strategy and offers the highest levels of transparency available in an ever-changing regulatory environment.  Providing independent oversight and reporting, is particularly important for fund of funds, which need to provide detailed reporting to their investors on the underlying private equity funds in their portfolio.
