ARROWS established a SICAV for a client: from structure to registration with the Czech National Bank
Setting up a SICAV requires the right fund structure, documentation, contractual framework and communication with the Czech National Bank so the fund can raise capital from qualified investors safely. Registration alone is not enough; risk management, anti-money laundering controls and ongoing compliance must work from the start. This article explains how ARROWS took a client from initial structuring through successful registration.
The mandate also included setting up management and control processes, an AML regime, and ongoing compliance so that the fund would meet all the requirements of the Investment Companies and Funds Act from the outset and have clearly defined annual regulatory obligations. The project was conducted with an emphasis on speed, a transparent schedule, and legal certainty of all steps until its successful registration.
