Setting Up

The FundBox vehicle is a Variable Capital Company structure regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore. It allows multiple collective yet ring-fenced investment schemes (sub-funds) to exist under the umbrella of a single corporate entity. Each FundBox will be a separate sub-fund under the Noviscient umbrella fund structure, with the usual fund provider services including fund administration, audit, and compliance.

The steps for creating a FundBox are:
