Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to common questions about Hummingbird Capital Partners, our services, and the infrastructure we build.
Hummingbird Capital Partners (HCP) is a Swiss-based institutional investment infrastructure firm headquartered in Zurich. From fund structuring to day-to-day operations, HCP provides the infrastructure that enables institutional investors to focus on what matters: generating returns. HCP bridges traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralised finance (DeFi) with Swiss precision.
Operational Alpha is a concept pioneered by Hummingbird Capital Partners that refers to measurable efficiency gains achieved through infrastructure modernisation. Unlike investment alpha, which is competed away in efficient markets, operational alpha is systematic and sustainable - captured by eliminating manual processes, consolidating fragmented systems, and deploying deterministic controls through DLT-powered fund operations.
HCP offers three core services: (1) Cross-Border Investment Execution - multi-jurisdictional fund structures with seamless capital deployment across Luxembourg, Cayman, Singapore, and other jurisdictions; (2) Funds & Securitisation Platforms - compliant fund and securitisation structures including Credit Linked Notes (CLN), designed to scale and survive audit; (3) Operating Layer - governance, controls, risk and treasury, and reporting cadence that delivers measurable Operational Alpha.
A Credit Linked Note (CLN) is a securitisation instrument that allows private credit originators to package loan portfolios into bankable, custody-ready securities without establishing a full fund structure. HCP structures CLNs in Switzerland and the EEA, offering Single Transaction CLNs for one-off issuances and Shelf Programmes (multi-compartment) for repeat issuers. Setup takes as little as 8 days.
HCP supports a range of institutional fund structures including Luxembourg SLP (Special Limited Partnership), Cayman Islands vehicles, and Singapore fund structures. Each structure is pre-vetted by auditors and legal counsels, with built-in controls and documentation standards that satisfy Big 4 auditors and institutional LPs.
Headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, HCP serves institutional and professional clients across Europe (Switzerland, Luxembourg), GCC (DIFC Dubai, ADGM Abu Dhabi), Africa (Mauritius), Asia (Singapore, Hong Kong), and the Americas (Bermuda, BVI, Cayman Islands). Each jurisdiction is served with localised expertise and global standards.
Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) transforms fund administration from manual, spreadsheet-based workflows to deterministic, audit-ready operations. Key benefits include real-time NAV calculation, automated compliance checks, immutable audit trails, and tokenised share classes that enable fractional ownership and 24/7 settlement. HCP's portfolio company Fume provides the on-chain fund operations layer.
