Next Generation Fundraising Architecture

A Unique Opportunity…

Europe has always played an important strategic role for global financial services firms. Not only as an attractive source of investment capital – EU institutional investors managed EUR 29 trillion as of 2024; but also, as a gateway to global investor markets – EU mature fund infrastructure has become the gold standard for and accepted by investors worldwide.For aspiring third party marketers and fund managers then, who want to grow their global footprint, ignoring Europe is not an option.

But Uniquely Complex…

However, with 3 distinct regulatory frameworks, 30 jurisdictions, and nearly as many languages and business cultures, the European environment can feel very condensed, requiring intimate understanding to navigate effectively.It may seem at first, that successful fundraising in Europe is a potentially rewarding but complex undertaking with high barriers to entry, hard to unwind long term commitments and significant resource requirements, accessible only to larger firms willing to commit.

Arqitera exists to help fund managers navigate in through the complexities of Europe. We guide our clients through this challenging landscape, helping to cut through the noise, identify and capitalise on the right opportunities and ultimately achieve their fundraising goals.

Focus: We believe that raising assets requires focus, on-the-ground presence, and realistic expectations.Flow: Whilst there continues to be a flow of new money into UCITS and Alternative funds in Europe, there are many managers struggling to get their share.Assets: At Arqitera we understand that investment performance and risk management are the key factors in running a funds management business, but an effective distribution strategy is critical in order for that business to be successful.Growth: As experts in European fund distribution, we know that the managers who succeed are those that deliver against a well-defined asset gathering strategy, not those who make sporadic sales efforts.Understanding: Just building it does not mean they will come – but by understanding your investors’ needs and, building back from this, you will maximise your chances to meet your business development goals.

Approach and philosophy:

We break down the marketing, administrative and sales functions into nine component parts, spanning the lifecycle of asset gathering.

Fully Custom Tailored:

Each component can be tailored to the specific needs of our clients. allowing full flexibility on what you need and to overall reach your goals.

Flexible and modular:

Clients are free to pick and choose which components they want to manage themselves, and which ones they want Arqitera to assist with.

Accountability & control:

Each component has predefined deliverables, costs and timelines, allowing our clients complete control over the asset gathering process.
