Coredo

I have been building COREDO since 2016 with a single goal: to help entrepreneurs and CFOs quickly and safely scale their businesses through international structures, licensing and high-quality compliance. In recent years the European market has given us a new tool that genuinely expands financing for long-term projects and opens private investors’ access to illiquid asset classes. This is about ELTIF 2.0: the updated European form of long-term investment funds with a distribution passport. Below: my perspective as the founder and a practitioner of the COREDO team, so that you can make an informed decision: to launch your own ELTIF, invest in one, or use it as part of your corporate strategy.

Conclusions

I often hear the same request from owners and asset managers: provide a structure that accelerates a fund’s launch, withstands institutional due diligence, and scales without pain. The Variable Capital Company in Singapore (Singapore VCC) addresses exactly these needs. In recent years the COREDO team has completed dozens of VCC design and registration projects for hedge funds, credit strategies, venture and multi-asset platforms, and I see how quickly the VCC is becoming the standard in Asia and a practical alternative to European and UK formats.

The VCC was created as the market’s response to flexibility, technological sophistication, and regulatory predictability. Its structure supports an umbrella VCC with sub-funds, strict asset segregation and unified corporate processes.

VCC architecture and asset segregation

The basic model – an umbrella VCC structure under which one or several sub-funds are created. Each sub-fund has separate assets and liabilities, and the legislation provides for statutory segregation, i.e., legal separation at the level of law rather than only by contract. This is critical for hedge funds with different risk strategies, where the investor mandate and liquidity vary across sub-funds.

Our experience at COREDO has shown that multi-strategy managers find it beneficial to consolidate common functions (directors, administrator, auditor, compliance) at the “umbrella” level and allocate portfolio decisions to the sub-funds. This reduces duplication of costs, simplifies reporting, and transfers of assets between VCC sub-funds during rebalancing proceed through transparent procedures at the level of the board of directors and the administrator.

An additional advantage: the registration of sub-funds and their asset segregation do not require the creation of separate legal entities. This speeds up the launch of new strategy lines, simplifies the closing or reorganization of VCC sub-funds and disciplines corporate governance.

VCC Act 2018 and 2026 Amendments: the Role of MAS

The legal foundation is laid by the VCC Act 2018, and the 2026 amendments strengthen AML/CFT controls, the disclosure of beneficial ownership, and the quality of reporting. The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) coordinates supervision through the requirements of the SFA (Securities and Futures Act) and the rules for Collective Investment Schemes (CIS), and also introduces clarifications to the MAS 2026 reporting requirements, including electronic channels and standardized templates.

In 2026 the emphasis shifted to operational risk management and cybersecurity, so that fund platforms comply with new outsourcing methods and cloud storage.

From a classification standpoint, a VCC can support both closed and open strategies within a CIS, providing flexibility in liquidity and instruments. The COREDO team is accustomed to drafting documents so that a sub‑fund’s investment mandate clearly falls into the appropriate category and internal procedures comply with the SFA.

How to set up a VCC for a hedge fund

I start with a product roadmap: strategy, liquidity, investor geography, institutional requirements. Then we structure the legal shell: VCC registration in Singapore, define the board composition, and choose the corporate secretary and CSP.

Next – Licensing of the fund manager (FMC/CMS). To manage assets registration as a Fund Management Company (FMC) is required: depending on AUM and client type the Registered Fund Management Company (RFMC) scheme or Capital Markets Services (CMS) licence will be suitable.

In parallel we arrange agreements: custodian and depositary functions, fund administrator and transfer agent, independent auditor, provider of independent valuation (for illiquid assets). At the level of investment documentation we set up management fee and performance fee with high-water mark and hurdle rate, waterfall distribution of income and side pockets for illiquid positions. The COREDO team pays attention to both legal logic and operational feasibility so that the administrator correctly calculates NAV and carried interest.

VCC Taxation in Singapore

VCC taxation in Singapore relies on preferential regimes (including the Enhanced Tier Fund), exemptions for investment income when criteria are met and tax residency is confirmed. Economic substance rules and demonstration of activity are important: board meetings in Singapore, qualifying resident directors, local compliance and on-the-ground operational functions.

There is a network of double taxation avoidance agreements with investors from the EU and Asia. We model cash flows and withholding taxes by beneficiary country, and also review transfer pricing and related parties in the VCC structure if the manager’s service company is present. For GST (Goods and Services Tax) special rules apply to funds; properly structured exported services and interactions with non-residents affect the calculation.

COREDO’s practice confirms: clear documentation of the “centre of management and control” and a well-thought currency structure and profit allocation of the VCC help reduce tax risks associated with the VCC and ensure a steady ROI for investors.

AML/CFT, KYC and e-KYC Compliance 2026

AML compliance for VCC is based on a risk-based approach: PEP checks, sanctions screening, sources of funds and the obligation to file SARs for suspicious transactions.

I ensure that the policy reflects actual operations: investor risk profiles are aligned with the sub-fund strategy, and triggers for Enhanced Due Diligence are logical and measurable.

KYC and e-KYC for VCC have become standard. We build a digital investor onboarding workflow: document collection, e-signature, liveness-check, address verification, automatic sanctions screening and UBO mapping. The beneficial ownership register must be up to date and reconciled with the administrator’s and transfer agent’s data. For US clients: FATCA reporting and GIIN settings; for others: Common Reporting Standard (CRS).

Finally, the impact of PDPA (Personal Data Protection Act) and GDPR when working with European investors requires conscious data management: minimization, storage, access and deletion. We document the roles of controller and processor, and define secure channels for exchanges with administrators and distributors.

Operating model: NAV, IFRS, audit

The custodian and depository are anchor partners. In Singaporean practice the custodian provides safekeeping and the processing of corporate actions, and a trustee is appointed for some CIS-structures. We compare servicing by asset classes, cut-offs for settlements, fee models and prime brokerage capabilities. The administrator and transfer agent close the NAV, maintain investor records, calculate fees and produce reporting; the SLA should fix deadlines, responsibilities and the business continuity plan.

NAV valuation practices for complex assets are set by the valuation policy: fair value hierarchy, independent quotes, model prices, role of an independent valuation provider.

Financial reporting under IFRS and external audit requirements are the basis of trust. Auditor independence, the agreed scope of sample testing across sub-funds and the timeline for completion of audits are critical to the marketing cycle.

Liquidity, risks and leverage

Liquidity management and redemption gates in VCC begin with designing terms: redemption periods, notice periods, lock-up periods, suspension of redemptions and side pocket structures. For illiquid assets, side pockets and special purpose vehicles within a VCC help protect investors of the underlying sub-fund. We tie the policy to the actual turnover of assets, stress testing and liquidity ranking.

The use of borrowed leverage and limits for a VCC are linked to prime brokerage agreements and margin financing. The COREDO team sets up collateral agreements, governance for margin calls and limits on leverage. For derivative operations we deploy frameworks for margin requirements, counterparty risk assessment, as well as policies on securities lending and credit risk.

At the core – the risk management framework: VAR, stress testing, scenario analysis, limits by asset classes and concentrations, three lines of defense and regular reports to the board of directors. This approach simplifies discussions with institutional investors and reduces operational risk for both the manager and the investor.

Engaging with Investors in the EU

AIFMD marketing rules require careful thinking. For many strategies, fund marketing in Europe is through a VCC: country-specific NPPR requirements and/or working via Reverse Solicitation. Passporting from Singapore to the EU does not apply, so we develop country-by-country maps: where reverse solicitation is permitted, where a local representative is required and what disclosures are necessary.

Servicing EU investors and GDPR requirements come to the forefront. We formalize subscription channels, KID/KIID materials where necessary, and agree disclosures on remuneration, ESG and risks. Market access strategies to attract institutional investors from the EU, Asia and the CIS include a roadshow schedule, selecting a custodian with a recognised name and audit practices accepted by institutions.

Our document packages help complete KYC quickly, without sacrificing the thoroughness of the checks.

Tokenization without regulatory gaps

Tokenization of fund shares in a VCC and tokenisation of fund shares require careful legal scrutiny. Singapore allows digital solutions subject to compliance with the SFA and rules on digital tokens; smart contracts and automation of distributions (distributions) are possible if the administrator, custodian and audit agree on control points. I insist on an independent reconciliation of the token register with the investor register at the transfer agent.

Crypto hedge funds in a VCC, legal risks around custody, AML and volatility. We set up custodial chains with certified crypto custodians, include additional KYC requirements and valuation methodologies for illiquid/digital positions.

Cybersecurity, a mandatory element: cybersecurity controls, vulnerability log, DLP, access control and cloud storage policy. Such measures are important not only for MAS, but also for due diligence by exchanges and prime brokers.

Cost calculation, ROI and scaling

The cost of launching and maintaining a VCC depends on the number of sub-funds, the manager’s license, the composition of partners and the geography of investors. In a typical configuration CAPEX includes registration, legal documentation, setup of service providers and the IT stack; OPEX includes administration, audit, compliance, custodian fees, directors and D&O insurance. I recommend performing a cost-benefit analysis: OPEX vs CAPEX when choosing a VCC, expected AUM, fee terms and the load on the back-office.

KPIs and ROI metrics for a fund structure: IRR on the manager’s capital, MOIC on platform investments, TER for each sub-fund, investor onboarding speed and NAV close time. Scaling a hedge fund via a VCC relies on modularity: new sub-funds are opened according to a ready checklist with vetted counterparties.

How to organize a hedge fund waterfall in a VCC? We fix the management fee, performance fee, high-water mark and hurdle rate, and set out the clawback mechanics and crystallization dates. For currency structuring and profit calculation the VCC uses the fund’s base currency, an FX hedging policy and a transparent profit calculation per share class. If necessary we include re-domiciliation and cross-border migration of funds to transfer assets into the VCC without tax or operational shocks.

Reorganization and liquidation of VCC sub-funds, as well as liquidation, winding-up procedures and creditor priorities, are described in advance in the constitutional documents and the liquidity management policy. This reduces the risk of disputes and simplifies coordination with investors.

VCC, SICAV and English structures

Jurisdictional comparisons show: VCC wins on speed of launch, sub-fund flexibility and tech-enabled compliance. The Luxembourg SICAV is familiar to European institutional investors and provides a strong “passport” in the EU, but requires more time and budget.

At COREDO I prefer to match the structure to the strategy and the investor. For pan-Asia capital raising and tech funds, VCC often leads; for deep distribution into the EU, SICAV remains a strong option. There is no “one-size-fits-all” here — it’s important to design the architecture, budget and licensing roadmap.

Relocating a management company to Singapore: pros and cons

Relocating a management company to Singapore strengthens the economic presence (substance) of a VCC: resident directors, a local risk-management and compliance team, board meetings, working relationships with MAS. Pros: tax predictability, access to Asian investors, a well-developed infrastructure of custodians and administrators.

Downsides, requirements for staffing and operational discipline: you will need to invest in processes, PDPA procedures, cyber security and regular reporting. If the strategy targets Europe, parallel services in the EU under GDPR and AIFMD distribution will remain relevant. I am considering hybrid models: a manager in Singapore plus a distribution office in key cities in Europe or Asia.

COREDO case studies: how it works in practice

Case 1. Multi-strategy VCC with two sub-funds for public and private assets. We designed the umbrella, organized an RFMC with a scalable roadmap on the CMS, engaged a global custodian and administrator, and set up an independent valuation provider for private positions. Within 12 months AUM surpassed the target, and the transition to the CMS was completed without interrupting marketing. Investors from the EU entered via reverse solicitation under agreed legal opinions.

Case 2. Crypto hedge fund inside a VCC with a pilot for tokenization of shares. We engaged a specialized crypto custodian, strengthened the AML policy with on-chain monitoring, and implemented e-KYC with liveness checks and sanctions screening of addresses. NAV was calculated using an independent valuation model and pricing sources agreed with the auditor. The COREDO team built smart contract checkpoints for distributions and reconciliation with the transfer agent.

Case 3. A family office with an Enhanced Tier Fund and four sub-funds by asset class. We optimized the tax profile, set KPIs for TER and operational SLAs, and appointed independent directors and an audit committee. Within the structure there was a side pocket for illiquid assets and an SPV for securitization transactions. Institutional due diligence was completed without issues, and IFRS reporting was closed in line with the marketing cycle.

ESG maturity for institutional investors

VCC corporate governance and independent directors are not a formality. I implement board charters, committees (audit, risk), a meeting schedule and a policy on conflicts of interest and related party transactions. This minimizes risks and increases the parties’ confidence.

ESG and sustainable investing in the context of VCC manifest in disclosures, due diligence of providers, voting policy and data management. Investors expect consistency: asset selection criteria, metrics, escalation procedures and independent verification where possible.

Founder’s pre-launch checklist

• due diligence of the fund manager and track record, including operational incidents.
• custodian vs trustee role in Singapore practice and compatibility with prime brokerage.
• fund administrator responsibilities and SLAs, experience with the required asset class.
• transfer agency and investor register maintenance, integration with e-KYC.
• independent valuation provider and valuation methodologies for illiquid assets.
• risk management framework: VAR, stress testing, scenario analysis and limits.
• valuation policy, fair value hierarchy and involvement of third parties.
• external audit requirements and auditor independence.
• beneficial ownership register and disclosure requirements.
• FATCA reporting for US investors and the Common Reporting Standard (CRS).
• AIFMD rules, reverse solicitation and local NPPRs in the EU.
• cybersecurity controls and cloud storage for fund administration.
• legal opinions for distributions and reliance letters for key jurisdictions.

Cost and timelines: a realistic benchmark

For a standard VCC with one sub-fund and RFMC, it’s reasonable to plan 3–5 months from the kick-off session to the first close, assuming prompt decisions and ready investment content. Budgets depend on the choice of providers and architecture, but the main share is made up by administration, audit, custodian and independent directors. I always provide two to three scenario budgets to align OPEX with target AUM and the required TER.

This is where the VCC shows its real advantage: rapid launch of new strategies with controlled margins and manageable risks.

VCC and the role of COREDO

VCC is not just a legal form. It is an infrastructure platform for strategy, marketing and compliance that helps accelerate growth, keep risk manageable, and speak to institutional investors in the same language. In light of the 2026 amendments to the VCC Act and tightening AML/CTF standards, funds with strong substance, clear policies and disciplined reporting will gain a strategic advantage.

I build roadmaps tailored to the needs of owners and managers: from a blank slate to first close and scaling.

If you are considering a Singapore VCC as a base for a hedge strategy or multi-asset platform, I invite you to discuss architecture, ROI and the roadmap: pragmatically, step by step, and with accountability for the outcome.

I have been running COREDO across the markets of Europe, Asia and the CIS since 2016 and have seen how **whistleblowing** in fintech has turned from a formality into a pillar for sustainable growth. When early signals from inside reach a competent team, the business wins across the board: compliance quality improves, regulatory risks decrease, and investors see the maturity of corporate governance. COREDO’s practice confirms: a properly configured complaints system in a fintech company speeds up the detection of breaches, improves AML controls and saves remediation budgets.

I regard **whistleblowing** as a business process with a clear architecture, SLA and measurable ROI. It is not only compliance with the EU’s **whistleblowing** requirements, but also an operational protection of informants in financial services, embedded into a compliance framework for fintechs, crypto firms, payment providers and neo-banks. In this article I will compile the strategy, operational practices and lessons from COREDO cases: from channel architecture to performance metrics and scaling across international markets.

Directive (EU) 2019/1937 and standards

The European Directive on the protection of whistleblowers (Whistleblower Directive), Directive (EU) 2019/1937, sets minimum standards for companies, including the financial sector. National implementation of the directive in the EU and the risks of non-compliance vary by country, but the direction is clear: reliable internal channels, protection from retaliation, confidentiality and timely feedback to the whistleblower. In financial services there are also industry frameworks: EBA recommendations and guidance on internal channels and risk management, as well as ESMA expectations for the capital markets and fintech companies working with securities and derivatives.

GDPR underpins any processing of complaints. **Confidentiality and GDPR** in complaints mean clear legal bases, data minimisation, pseudonymisation and clear retention periods. In practice this translates into a DPIA for the complaint system, the assignment of roles and responsibilities to the whistleblower officer, and the regulation of interaction with the DPO: the DPO’s job description and cooperation with the DPO should directly take the whistleblowing processing workflow into account.

Channels and deadlines under the EU directive
The directive requires mandatory channels of communication: an internal reporting channel for whistleblowers and the option of an external reporting channel to the regulator (national contact points and competent authorities). Internal reporting rules provide for acknowledgement of receipt of a complaint within seven days and feedback on the results within three months (with a possible extension up to six months in justified circumstances). Such regulated response times under the directive discipline the process and set SLA standards for compliance teams.

National implementation and sanctions
National implementation of the directive in the EU and the risks of non-compliance include regulatory fines and legal risks for breaching the directive. In EU case law there are examples of sanctions for the absence of internal channels, breaches of whistleblower confidentiality or missed deadlines. The financial consequences of non-compliance (fines, reputational risk) often exceed the costs of implementation. In some jurisdictions administrative and criminal consequences are added for ignoring a complaint, especially where possible economic crimes or money laundering are involved.

privacy by design in the GDPR
The impact of the GDPR on the processing of reports is reflected in details: conditions for anonymity and two-way anonymous communication, pseudonymisation and storage of complaint data, encryption and secure storage of records, cross-border transfer of complaint data and the legal bases for this. **Privacy by design** for reporting systems: not a slogan, but concrete measures: end-to-end encryption for **whistleblowing**, multi-factor authentication for reporting portals, protection of the communication channel from DDoS and leaks, as well as evaluating platform providers against SOC/ISO standards and checking their audit trail. At COREDO we usually build a DPIA for the complaint system at the start of a project; this reduces the likelihood of regulatory ‘surprises’.

Architecture of the complaints system in fintech

The complaints system in a fintech company is not just a ‘mailbox’. It is a set of processes and technologies: whistleblower channels (in-house software vs outsourcing), a secure reporting platform, triage and prioritization procedures, integration with case management systems and interaction with AML/SAR processes. I recommend viewing the architecture as a target operating model with clear interfaces and responsibilities.

Platform selection and security

Integration with case management systems, automation of investigations and workflows, as well as incident visualization tools for the board of directors simplify management of the complaint lifecycle. Compatibility of the complaints system with transaction monitoring systems helps speed up verification of signals related to AML, fraud and conflicts of interest.

Scaling for international fintech
Scaling a complaints system for international fintech relies on international jurisdiction and cross-border complaints. Scaling challenges during international expansion are usually related to local data storage and retention requirements, language localization and cultural specifics. Regional particularities in the EU, Asia and the CIS during implementation may require distributed hosting, mechanisms to restrict cross-border transfer of complaint data and local escalation procedures to national competent authorities.

The crypto sector adds nuances: regulation regarding cryptocurrencies and complaints is actively evolving, so compliance and **whistleblowing** in crypto firms must take into account the Travel Rule, risks of KYC circumvention and interaction with exchanges and custodial providers. The link between **whistleblowing** and AML/SAR is particularly strong here.

Integration of the compliance framework
I recommend tying **whistleblowing** to AML processes, KYC/CDD, IT security and HR. SAR vs internal report, the difference and interaction should be clear to every line of defense: an internal report triggers a corporate investigation, while a SAR to the FIU is a regulatory report of suspicious activity. I consider compatibility with transaction monitoring systems and a unified case management ecosystem mandatory: it reduces the time to gather evidence and improves the quality of legal assessment of reports.

Processes from report to resolution

The heart of the program: investigation management after a report and a well-thought-out triage methodology. The solution developed at COREDO combines risk scoring, automatic checks against registers of breaches and the involvement of subject-matter experts. Signal analysis: how to reduce false positives is not only a matter of algorithms, but also of data-source settings, category clarity, and staff training.

Best practices for triage and prioritization

Investigation management

Escalation and engagement with external authorities

Roles, responsibility and culture

The compliance manager and the board of directors’ responsibility – key to maturity. I expect the board to approve a whistleblower policy, establish safeguards against retaliation and receive regular reports on the program’s status. The roles and responsibilities of the whistleblower officer include receiving reports, communicating with the whistleblower, initiating triage, and monitoring deadlines and anonymity.

Policies and instructions
A whistleblower policy for payment providers, compliance and **whistleblowing** in crypto firms, and implementing a **whistleblowing** program in a neo-bank require nuance. For payment organizations the policy should take into account PSD2/EMI risks; for crypto — risks of AML and sanctions circumvention; for neo-banks: a complex third-party matrix and open banking. I typically propose a whistleblower policy template with an annex: directive requirements on communication channels, internal reporting rules, safeguards against retaliation, escalation procedures, confidentiality and GDPR, data storage and retention periods.

Training and change management

Protection against retaliation and anonymous communication

How to calculate ROI

Maturity indicators: KPI and KRI
I use a three-level system of indicators:

• KPI: time to confirmation, time to triage, time to resolution, share of substantiated cases, reporters’ satisfaction with the quality of feedback.
• KRI for corporate ethics risk: increase in the number of reports in risk areas (without decline in quality), share of severe cases, incident recurrence.
• Maturity indicators of the whistleblower program: presence of a DPIA, integration with AML/SAR, independence of the appointed officer, regular reports to the board, benchmarking of **whistleblowing** programs by industry.

Economic efficiency model

Implementation: plan and COREDO cases

The COREDO team has implemented dozens of deployments, from startups to large groups. Implementing **whistleblowing** in a startup vs a large company differs in process depth and governance frameworks, but the stages are similar.

Project implementation plan

1. Diagnosis and design: maturity assessment, DPIA for the complaints system, compliance gap vs Directive (EU) 2019/1937, EBA/ESMA expectations.
2. Solution selection: reporting channels: software vs outsourcing, choosing a platform for secure messages, assessment by SOC/ISO, privacy by design.
3. Integration: case management system and audit trail, compatibility with transaction monitoring systems, integration with HR processes and disciplinary procedures, linkage with conflict of interest policy.
4. Policies and training: whistleblower policy template, escalation procedures, staff training and change management, communication with personnel.
5. Testing and launch: testing the complaints channel (penetration tests), DDoS protection checks, incident response and trust recovery plan.
6. Operations and measurements: KPIs/KRIs, reporting tools for management and the board, audit of the effectiveness of the whistleblower program.

COREDO cases

• Neo-bank in the EU: implementing a **whistleblowing** program at a neo-bank took 12 weeks. Integration with AML/SAR and transaction monitoring reduced time to triage by 38% and false positives by 22%. National contact points received two external reports with correct notification templates – the regulator accepted the responses without additional requests.
• Payment provider in Central Europe: a whistleblower policy for payment providers and two-channel escalation helped uncover a scheme to bypass limits. Documenting investigations and preserving the chain of evidence ensured successful cooperation with law enforcement and the FIU. The company avoided a fine, receiving only an order to improve third-party controls.
• Crypto firm with a hub in Asia: compliance and **whistleblowing** in crypto firms were integrated into Travel Rule processes. Machine learning for complaint clustering and NLP for automatic categorization of messages reduced the compliance line’s workload by 30%. A regulatory review confirmed compliance with the directive and local data protection rules, and the board approved additional budget to scale in the CIS.

Risks of non-compliance during inspections

Audit and reporting on complaints
Audit and reporting on complaints for the regulator are built on standardized datasets: complaint categories, response times, investigation status, and remedial and preventive measures. Reporting tools for management and the board provide a dashboard with trends, risk heatmaps and KPI/KRI details. Data retention policies and timeframes are aligned with GDPR and local regulations; encryption and secure storage of records are verified by an independent audit.

Preparation for inspections: stress tests

How COREDO Helps

Our experience at COREDO has shown: there is no single “box”, context matters: licenses, jurisdictions, group structure, digital maturity. The COREDO team designs a compliance framework for fintech taking into account Directive (EU) 2019/1937, GDPR and industry guidance, selects and implements platforms, configures two-way anonymous communication, integrates AML/SAR and case management, trains staff and establishes metrics. We treat culture with care: without trust in the channels and protection against reprisals, the system will not work.

COREDO helps conduct a DPIA, build escalation procedures, organize external reporting of violations in the financial sector, prepare notification templates, and, if necessary, outsource investigations to an independent provider. For groups with an international presence we configure cross-border transfer of complaint data in line with local rules, and manage the vendor chain for complaint platforms. As a result, the company gains not just compliance, but a working mechanism for the early detection and remediation of risks.

Conclusions

If you are preparing to launch or upgrade a program, start with a diagnosis: assess channels, roles, integrations and metrics. The COREDO team will gladly share methodologies, case studies and templates, and will also help adapt the solution for the EU, Asia and the CIS. With correct implementation, **whistleblowing** strengthens corporate ethics, accelerates the AML framework and increases business resilience; it is precisely the foundation on which international growth is built.
