Key Responsibilities:

  • Allocation Review: Conduct detailed reviews of fund allocations to ensure accuracy, fairness, and adherence to regulatory and firm-specific guidelines. Identify and resolve discrepancies, working closely with the investment and accounting teams to maintain compliance.
  • Compliance Monitoring: Assist in developing and implementing compliance monitoring programs to ensure all fund activities, including allocations, align with contractual covenants as well as SEC and other relevant regulations.

  • Policy Development: Collaborate with senior legal and compliance officers to update and refine internal compliance policies and procedures related to fund allocations and investment processes.
  • Risk Assessment: Continuously assess and mitigate compliance risks related to fund allocations, escalating potential issues to senior management and suggesting process improvements.
  • Training & Support: Provide training and guidance to team members and other departments regarding compliance protocols and best practices for allocations.

Qualifications:

  • JD required.
  • 4-8 years of experience in a law firm or in a compliance role, preferably with some experience within private equity, secondaries, or a related investment firm dealing with private transactions.
  • 1940 Act experience and knowledge required.
  • Strong understanding of regulatory requirements governing private equity and fund allocations.
  • Excellent analytical skills with a keen eye for detail.
