Funds

The CMS APAC funds team offers expert advice at every stage of the fund lifecycle – from licensing, planning and launch through governance, ops, restructuring and exit.

We work with both GPs and LPs on fund launches, investments and closings. We also advise on day-to-day operational matters and stand-alone transactions, co-investments and JVs. Our funds clients include global asset managers, institutional investors, funds of funds, first time fund managers, family offices and entrepreneurs. 

The funds industry is changing at unprecedented speed. The impact of technology, AI and the blockchain are challenging some of the until-now universally acknowledged truths of the fund management sector, creating both challenges and opportunities for market participants. We actively engage with our clients to help them embrace the opportunities and navigate the challenges. 
 
Similarly, Environmental, Social and Governance issues have leapt to the forefront of investors’ and managers’ minds in recent years, with the APAC region presenting particular challenges as the three pillars of ESG are adopted and embraced at varying speeds across the region. We are well-placed to take lessons learned from Europe and elsewhere and apply them to our clients’ businesses through an APAC lens.
 
We combine deep experience in the region with the commitment to learn, adapt and innovate with our clients. Whether you are a manager or an investor, a seasoned operator or are new to the market, the CMS Funds team in APAC can provide the support that you need, however you are involved in the funds sector.
