The Challenge

Why Is Legacy Infrastructure Holding Fund Managers Back?

Fund admin scattered across five jurisdictions, none of them talking to each other

Reconciliation still running on spreadsheets - in 2026

Twelve weeks to launch a fund because the lawyers can't agree on structure

Digital assets bolted on as an afterthought, with no audit trail to show for it

Our Solution

What Is Operational Alpha and How Does HCP Deliver It?

FATF-compliant structures. Global distribution if you need it, contained if you don't

NAV calculated in real time, not reconstructed three days later

One compliance framework that covers both TradFi and DeFi - no parallel systems

Custody and reporting that passes Big 4 audit without a single finding

Frequently Asked Questions

What we do, how we do it, and why it matters. No jargon where plain language works.

Swiss-domiciled, Zurich-headquartered. HCP builds fund infrastructure - the structures, the operations, the compliance layer - so that institutional investors can spend their time on deal origination and portfolio management instead of chasing service providers across five jurisdictions. We sit at the intersection of TradFi and DeFi, which in practice means our clients get on-chain efficiency without sacrificing the controls their auditors expect.

Most people chase investment alpha. We think the bigger opportunity is operational. Replace a manual NAV process with a deterministic on-chain calculation and you save 72 hours per cycle - every cycle. Consolidate five admin platforms into one and your error rate drops to near zero. That's Operational Alpha: measurable, repeatable efficiency gains from better infrastructure. It doesn't get competed away like market alpha does.

Three things. First, Cross-Border Investment Execution - we set up the fund wrapper in the right jurisdiction (Luxembourg SLP, Cayman, Singapore) and handle the regulatory plumbing. Second, Funds and Securitisation - this is where CLNs, tokenised share classes, and on-chain compliance live. Eight days from term sheet to structure, not twelve weeks. Third, the Operating Layer - governance, controls, risk, treasury, reporting. The part nobody wants to build but everybody needs.

A CLN lets you package a loan portfolio into a bankable, custody-ready security - without setting up a full fund. Think of it as securitisation without the overhead. We offer two flavours: a Single Transaction CLN for one-off deals, and a Shelf Programme with multiple compartments for repeat issuers. Both structured in Switzerland or the EEA. Setup? Eight days if your docs are ready.

Luxembourg SLP is our workhorse for European strategies. Cayman for global mandates. Singapore for Asia-focused vehicles. Each one comes with pre-vetted documentation - subscription agreements, side letters, compliance manuals - that Big 4 auditors have already reviewed. No reinventing the wheel every time you launch.

Zurich is home. But we have boots on the ground - or at least trusted local counsel - in Luxembourg, DIFC, ADGM, Singapore, Hong Kong, Mauritius, Bermuda, BVI, and the Cayman Islands. The coordination happens centrally; the execution happens locally.

Concretely? Your NAV gets calculated in real time instead of T+3. Compliance checks fire automatically when a subscription comes in. Every transaction leaves an immutable audit trail - no more reconstructing what happened from email threads. Tokenised share classes mean fractional ownership and round-the-clock settlement. Our portfolio company Fume builds the on-chain layer that makes all of this work.
