Manage the post-investment lifecycle by systematically tracking portfolio company compliance, coordinating the collection and processing of governance documents (such as board and shareholders resolutions, updated cap tables).
• Transactional Execution Support: Facilitate the end-to-end administrative execution of investment activities, including the management of transaction documents. Assist with the transaction closing by coordinating document execution, maintaining audit trails for every transaction, and ensuring all corporate governance requirements (e.g. drafting resolutions and managing filings) are completed with precision.
