A leading global asset manager has turned to Zeidler Group to address the mounting regulatory pressures tied to its extensive European operations.
With a portfolio spanning two umbrella funds – UCITS and AIF – and a history of more than 20 years, the firm manages over 50 sub-funds and 800 share classes across more than 14 EU and non-EU jurisdictions. Maintaining access to these markets is not only central to investor confidence but also to the firm’s wider strategy for long-term growth.
The scale of its operations made compliance especially challenging. The business faced a continuous cycle of registrations, de-registrations and amendments to sub-funds and share classes in multiple countries. Each jurisdiction came with different regulatory demands, requiring the asset manager to interact with numerous regulators and legal systems. The need to handle large volumes of registration data, preserve consistency and accuracy, and manage documentation with various providers created a heavy operational load. This stretched internal resources and highlighted the need for a more efficient, technology-driven solution.
To tackle these challenges, the company enlisted Zeidler Group to oversee the entire registration process. Operating independently but within agreed service-level frameworks, Zeidler took on the responsibility for filings, de-registrations and regulatory interactions. This approach combined legal expertise with a robust technological backbone, designed to minimise manual processes and accelerate outcomes.
Regulatory filings and client reporting were digitised and streamlined, significantly reducing the need for human intervention. The platform also provided real-time transparency, giving the client 24/7 access to track progress and compliance status. Meanwhile, Zeidler managed the majority of workflows autonomously, involving the asset manager only for strategically important decisions.
This model allowed the client to shift its internal focus away from administrative tasks and towards higher-value priorities. The results were clear: operational efficiency improved, compliance burdens were reduced, and oversight was enhanced through constant visibility. Data quality also benefitted from fewer manual steps, cutting the risk of human error.
For Zeidler, the project reflects its wider approach to supporting asset managers with complex cross-border registrations. By combining legal expertise with advanced automation, the company offers a scalable and transparent system that not only ensures compliance but also enables growth. For the client, this partnership means its funds remain accessible to investors across Europe and beyond, free from unnecessary regulatory friction.
