Sharpfin as fund unit registry

Nominee structure for direct ownership

There are sometimes strong incentives not to combine the unit-holder register and NAV calculation within a single system. This may be, for example, because one wishes to have a fund structure in Luxembourg, or because one does not hold a fund licence and therefore wishes to use a fund hotel for administration, licensing and NAV calculation. In such cases, Sharpfin provides an effective complement to direct ownership in the fund unit-holder register.

FAQs

Sharpfin has been developed in collaboration with leading asset managers in Sweden. Here you will find frequently asked questions about Sharpfin. Please contact us if you have any further questions or require further information.

  • How many fund unit holders can I manage?

    There is no upper limit. With automated workflows and effective customer due diligence, it is possible to manage tens of thousands of customers.

    Competitors usually limit the number of shareholders due to inefficient administration. Some providers only allow institutional shareholders or platforms.

  • How is integration with the fund administrator managed?

    Through its open architecture, Sharpfin builds interfaces so that fund orders are netted per fund into one buy and one sell order per fund. These are automatically sent to the fund administration system before the cut-off time.

    Competitors often handle this process manually, resulting in reduced scalability and increased uncertainty.

  • Is the reporting automated?

    Yes, Sharpfin offers fully integrated and automated reporting.

    Competitors often need external tools to meet the same requirements.

  • How secure is the platform?

    Sharpfin reduces risks through fewer interfaces and high levels of cyber security.

    Competitors often have more vulnerabilities due to separate systems.

  • Is the system easy to use?

    Yes, the platform is designed to enable intuitive workflows and reduce the amount of manual work.

    Competitors often use legacy interfaces that are more time-consuming.

  • How is tax reporting handled?

    Sharpfin provides tax reporting using KU reports for all relevant tax brackets, enabling you to easily download and submit completed files to the Tax Authority.

    Competitors also offer this to a large extent, but sometimes lack certain relevant tax brackets.

  • Can I automate my fund trading?

    Yes, via Sharpfin’s client portal, you can easily offer your clients the option to buy and sell the funds you provide. It’s straightforward to link payment flows to these to make things easier for the client and reduce your own administrative workload.

    Competitors often only allow orders via platforms or forms, whilst payment flows are manual and administratively burdensome.

  • How do fund share classes work?

    Share classes mean that the same fund is divided into different ‘share classes’ with different fees, dividend policies, currencies or currency hedging, but with an identical underlying portfolio.

  • What is the difference between fund administration and fund management?

    Fund administration refers to back-office processes such as accounting, NAV, registers, reports and regulatory compliance, whilst fund management concerns investment decisions, portfolio strategy and risk/return profile.

  • How often should NAV (Net Asset Value) be calculated?

    The NAV is typically calculated on a daily basis for UCITS funds and many ETFs, whilst alternative funds often have a monthly or quarterly NAV, depending on their structure, investor expectations and regulatory requirements.

  • What reporting requirements do fund management companies have?

    Fund management companies are subject to extensive reporting requirements, including AIFMD Annex IV reporting to supervisory authorities, SFDR/PAI sustainability reporting, and MiFIR/MiFID-related transaction and transparency reporting, in addition to local regulations.
