Overview
Singapore's financial industry is regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). B&H Management Consultancy assists companies and fund managers in obtaining fund management licences, establishing Variable Capital Companies (VCC), and connecting with licensed fund managers β helping you access Singapore's world-class fund management ecosystem.
Get StartedSingapore classifies fund management licences into three categories regulated by MAS, based on assets under management (AUM) and investor type: the Licensed Fund Management Company (LFMC) for qualified investors with AUM under S$250 million, the Licensed Fund Management Company (LFMC) for accredited and institutional investors, and the Licensed Retail Fund Management Company for funds open to retail investors. B&H assists with licence applications, Variable Capital Company (VCC) structuring, and matching clients with licensed fund managers.
The LFMC licence allows fund managers to manage assets for an unlimited number of accredited and institutional investors. We guide you through the comprehensive MAS application process, including business plan preparation, fit-and-proper assessments, and compliance framework setup.
Retail fund management licences allow fund managers to manage funds accessible to retail investors β the highest tier of MAS licensing. We provide advisory services for companies seeking to access the Singapore retail investor market.
The VCC is a flexible corporate structure for investment funds β allowing multiple sub-funds under a single legal entity, re-domiciliation from overseas, and enhanced fund confidentiality. We provide full VCC setup and administration services.
We assist in establishing investment funds in Singapore β including fund structuring, preparation of offering documents (Information Memorandum), investor onboarding frameworks, and regulatory filing with MAS.
For family offices and investment vehicles that prefer to outsource portfolio management, we facilitate introductions to MAS-licensed fund management companies that match your investment strategy and mandate.
How it works
We assess your fund management business model, AUM, target investors, and investment strategy to determine the most appropriate MAS licence category.
We prepare all required application documents β including business plan, compliance framework, key personnel declarations, and financial projections.
We submit the licence application to MAS and manage all regulatory correspondence, queries, and information requests throughout the review process.
Upon MAS approval, we assist with operational setup β including compliance policy implementation, AML/CFT framework, and required system and reporting infrastructure.
We provide ongoing regulatory compliance support β including MAS annual returns, regulatory reporting, and advisory on regulatory updates affecting your fund management business.
