Run your fund on software, not spreadsheets.
Your investors get a portal. You get a live view.
1 investor onboarding
Investors subscribe digitally, with identity and anti-money laundering checks, tax declarations and e-signing built into the flow rather than chased afterwards by email.
Investor classification and eligibility are captured as part of the process, with an audit trail behind each step. No sixty-page subscription deed, no printing, no posting.
“Our investors can access everything they need through one slick, intuitive platform, which improves their experience and saves us countless hours of administration.”
Ben Ashworth, Side by Side
2 Fund Accounting
Double-entry bookkeeping across every fund transaction, multi-currency, with bank feeds reconciling automatically and a general ledger you can look into at any time.
Deal allocations, fee calculations, equalisation and waterfalls are handled by the system rather than by a spreadsheet somebody built four years ago and nobody now understands.
For SEIS and EIS funds, the system generates S/EIS1 data sheets, populates S/EIS3 forms and produces a personalised annual tax report for each investor.
3 Investor Portal
Your investors see their holdings, what they cost, what they are worth now, and how the fund is performing on a portal branded for your firm rather than for the platform.
Statements, deployment updates, reports and their annual tax report reach them without anyone chasing anyone, which is the part that quietly decides whether they come back for your next fund.
Our administration runs on Further, a specialist fund administration platform. The platform is charged separately, at rates we have negotiated for our clients. Further's founders co-own Emerald Fund Services with three of Sapphire's partners.
“Sapphire has been the cornerstone of our investment operations." Mark Pearson, Fuel Ventures
property funds
Set up a property fund with Sapphire. Sapphire will collaborate with you in setting up the traditional "LP/GP" structure for a property fund. LPs are the limited partners who invest in the fund, and the GP is the General Partner.
In addition to this, Sapphire is authorised to manage & operate Exempt Property/ Exempt Property Unit Trust ("EPUT") structure.
An indirect property investment means that the investor subscribes to shares in a company that, in turn, invests in properties. Through property funds, investors, therefore, have the opportunity to invest relatively small amounts in large-volume properties by way of professional fund companies.
Nearly all the funds we manage now run on the same administration system, from a first SEIS fund with twenty investors to a GP/LP structure that draws down capital over several years.
