Fund Licensing & Administration

A SMART Fund is designed for smaller or emerging funds with streamlined regulatory requirements and lower minimum investment thresholds. A Professional Fund targets institutional and accredited investors with higher minimums ($500,000+) and broader investment flexibility. Both are licensed under the Investment Funds Act, 2019 of The Bahamas.

With Agio's delegated authority from the Securities Commission, SMART Fund licensing can be completed in as little as 2–4 weeks. Professional Fund licensing typically takes 4–8 weeks depending on the complexity of the fund structure and completeness of documentation.

Costs vary based on the fund type and structure. They generally include regulatory filing fees, legal documentation, initial administration setup, and ongoing annual administration fees. Contact our team for a detailed breakdown tailored to your fund's requirements.
