This page outlines common workstreams associated with the management and oversight of alternative investment funds. It is an informational framework, not a catalogue of paid services.
The activities relevant to a particular AIF depend on its jurisdiction, legal form, strategy, investor base and appointed providers. The descriptions below are general and do not confirm that Alpina Management GmbH performs any regulated activity for a specific fund.

Operating model
A repeatable management information cycle.
A fund's operating model should make it clear what information is produced, who reviews it, when decisions are taken and how exceptions are resolved.
Map
Identify entities, responsibilities, providers, recurring activities and key dependencies.
Monitor
Collect and review relevant portfolio, risk, operational and compliance information.
Respond
Record decisions, address exceptions, update stakeholders and refine the framework.
Use these areas as a starting point.
Fund-specific requirements should be confirmed with appropriately qualified legal, tax, accounting, compliance and investment professionals.
