Full-Service Fund Management Infrastructure providing everything fund managers need
to launch and operate investment funds

FundBase Group is an Australian fund management infrastructure provider.
It gives fund managers everything needed to launch and operate an investment fund through a single operating partner, rather than appointing and coordinating separate specialists for each function. The group operates through licensed Australian entities, and managers can engage the complete solution or select individual services depending on the capability they already have in place.

A traditional fund launch typically takes six to twelve months, largely because licensing, structuring, provider selection and systems setup run sequentially. FundBase Group delivers an operational fund in four to six weeks by providing the licensing, trustee, registry, administration and compliance components as one integrated solution rather than assembling them from separate providers.

Several components have to come together: selecting and establishing the legal structure, preparing the fund documentation, securing a licensing arrangement, appointing a trustee or responsible entity, setting up investor onboarding and a registry, and establishing fund administration, accounting and compliance processes. Each is a specialist function with its own requirements, which is why a conventional launch involves several providers and takes months to coordinate.

Not necessarily. A manager can apply for their own Australian Financial Services Licence, which typically takes many months, or operate as a Corporate Authorised Representative (CAR) under an existing licensee. FundBase Group provides AFSL coverage through a CAR arrangement, including appointment, training, supervision and ongoing compliance support, so a fund can launch without waiting on a licence application.

Both models are available. Fund-in-a-Box is the all-in-one solution, covering formation, licensing, trustee services, onboarding, registry, administration and reporting in a single engagement. Managers who already have some infrastructure can instead select individual services — registry, administration, compliance or licensing — to fill specific gaps or replace an existing provider. Managers launching a first fund more often take the complete solution; established managers more often engage selectively.

FundBase Group supports funds across private and public markets, including equities, fixed income and multi-asset funds, hedge funds, venture capital and private equity, property, real assets and infrastructure, private credit, broader alternatives, and special purpose vehicles (SPVs). Services are adapted to the structure and operating requirements of each fund.
