We are continuously having conversations with investors across our global investor network, providing leads on opportunities to invest in promising funds.

Enhance your Credibility and Reputation

The selection of your independent director should be made in the same way as any professional service provider to your fund; based on talent, competence, experience and track record. Hire the most successful firm that you can afford as success begets success. Since its founding in 2000, GA has been stress tested throughout several periods of extreme market crisis and has performed flawlessly. We are proud that GA and its fund directors have never been the subject of any legal or regulatory judgments, investigations, censures or disciplines in our entire history.

GA has received extensive media coverage from leading publications including the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Financial Times and hedge fund publications including Hedgeweek, where we have been consistently ranked as the Best Offshore Regulatory Advisory Firm – number one for the last five years. Most notably, GA is consistently recommended by leading investors and service providers worldwide, and selected by leading managers for our outstanding reputation and exceptional service.

By any credible measure, GA is the undisputed leader in fund governance and the benchmark against which all others are compared.

Avoid Conflicts of Interest

Conflicts are serious matters and many are not foreseen until they arise. Regulators worldwide have a zero tolerance approach to conflicts that could prove very costly to your fund if strict compliance is not maintained. To avoid conflicts, GA maintains complete independence from legal counsel and the other service providers to the fund – no gimmicks – our interests are fully aligned with your fund and its investors. GA maintains true independence in accordance with SEC and other global regulatory standards.

Gain Deep Visibility through our Governance, Risk, and Compliance Technology

GA size is a major advantage to the funds that we serve, giving you deep visibility and learning into governance, risk, and compliance benchmarking practices worldwide to stay abreast of industry trends. Controlling, auditing and managing governance, risk and compliance functions are enormous challenges and no single mind of any independent director can fully comprehend the full range of risks inherent in operating a modern hedge fund.

At EA, these capabilities come built into our platform to help you simplify meeting even your most stringent governance, risk and compliance requirements. Through our secure client portal, managers and investors can access GA Governance Transparency reports on-demand to gain real-time visibility into exactly what oversight work the directors are performing for your fund, in an easy-to-analyze format that eliminates guesswork. This unique reporting feature is an industry-first, only available at EA.

Data security and protection is also critical in today’s cyber environment. All GA client funds benefit from robust data architecture to safeguard and satisfy the requirements of the most security-sensitive managers and investors.
