Hedge Fund Awards 2015 www.acquisition-intl.com 86 Corporate Profile Lumiere Fund Services Ltd (previously Fund Corporation) is a regulated administrator based in Guernsey that has carved out a niche in providing bespoke and tailored solutions which address their clients’ specific and wide-ranging needs. Set up by professionally qualified individuals looking to provide partnered solutions for clients, the firm has a successful history of working with a range of clients who may seek traditional fund administration services across a wide range of fund types and those who are looking for business partners whose focus is on helping achieve their clients’ successes over the long term. As a result, Lumiere has a number of joint venture arrangements that go beyond those of a pure service provider. As an example, for one of our clients we established a regulated investment manager and regulated fund, in- vesting into emerging markets and have developed such a strong relationship that the group is now seeking to headquarter its corporate structure and trading business in Guernsey with us. That said, not all clients want that much input and for those we provide full service outsourced administration for open-ended funds and closed-ended in a range of asset types. These include hedge funds, private equity, real estate, funds of funds, equities, fixed interest and more esoteric assets. Our core administration offering covers assistance with the regulatory approval process, including fund launch and on an on-going basis company secretarial services, Rivoli Fund Management offer a range of alternative investment products using state-of-the-art quantitative trading and investment strategies. We spoke to Partner Laurent Hirsch who believes that financial markets offer a lot of inefficiencies, and his approach is to systematically identify and trade these opportunities. Since we were founded in 1996, RFM has been totally owned by its management. We believe this ensures a long term commitment of the company’s development. We are an asset management company registered with the CFTC and the NFA as a Commodity Trading Advisor, as well as with the French authorities (AMF) as an asset management firm. Working with associations such as these entails being strongly research oriented, which we have highly skilled and experienced researchers. Our trading strategies are implemented in our market neutral fund, Rivoli Equity Fund and diversified CTA programs. In terms of services, we manage a range of products through a systematic process based on sophisticated sta- tistical and mathematical models. What separates us from our competitors is our large and diversified range of trading strategies. These attributes enable our programs and funds to provide all weather investment solutions which can bene- fit from both trends and range trading markets. accounting, treasury, the provision of directors and be- spoke investor reporting for fund managers, open-ended and closed-ended funds and related holding companies and special purpose vehicles. Lumiere was established in 2008 by Paul Everitt and Roger Parry, each of whom is professionally qualified and came together with a common desire to break the mold of pure service provision and use the independence of the company to allow flexibility of approach, entrepre- neurialism and responsiveness in their dealings with clients. The company remains wholly owner-managed and continues to grow on these values.
