What Solutions & Funds does

Solutions & Funds SA is an independent Swiss fund management company (Fondsleitung) headquartered in Morges, Switzerland, with a second office in Zurich. Founded in 2008 under the name Solufonds and rebranded in November 2022, the company operates under FINMA supervision and provides three integrated service modules to institutional clients: Fund Structuring (project management, FINMA application drafting, custodian bank selection, delegation contracts, regulatory life-cycle management), Fund Management (legal responsibility toward FINMA and investors, risk management, investment compliance, monitoring of external service providers), and Fund Administration (NAV calculation, fund accounting, reporting, tax). Its core product is the structuring, launch, and ongoing administration of private label investment funds under Swiss law, spanning real estate funds (6 SICAVs), securities funds, and alternative investment structures including private debt and the newer L-QIF (Limited Qualified Investors Fund) category introduced in 2024.

Solutions & Funds serves asset managers, banks, insurance companies, pension funds, and family offices across Switzerland, delivering services in German, French, Italian, and English. The firm operates a B2B sales-led go-to-market with dedicated Business Development and Client Relationship Managers. As of December 2025, it administered CHF 6.7 billion in assets under management across more than 20 fund vehicles, up from CHF 1.6 billion in 2017. Major mandates include DWS CH Umbrella (CHF 6.2 billion across 27 sub-funds, effective January 2024), Edmond de Rothschild Real Estate SICAV (CHF 1.97 billion, effective January 2025), Bonhôte-Immobilier SICAV (CHF 1.4 billion, effective January 2026), and Procimmo Real Estate SICAV (CHF 1.2 billion, January 2023).

The firm employs approximately 40 specialists across its Morges and Zurich locations and generates revenue primarily through recurring fund management and administration fees, supplemented by one-off structuring and project fees. It is privately held with no disclosed external investors, has no subsidiaries, and is led by Co-CEOs Andreea Stefanescu and Violaine Augustin-Moreau following a March 2026 governance transition. Strategic partnerships with State Street Bank (September 2025) for custody and front-to-back-office capabilities, and Universal-Investment (April 2023) for European (Luxembourg) fund structuring, extend its service surface beyond purely Swiss-domiciled vehicles.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• State Street Bank International GmbH: Strategic partner of S&F since September 2025 and global custody giant (USD 46T AUC). Overlaps with S&F's asset-servicing scope at the global scale, but does not compete in the independent-Swiss-ManCo niche. Comparable as a broad incumbent offering integrated fund services to institutional investors.
• Pictet Fund Services: Swiss custodian and fund services arm of Pictet Group, listed as one of S&F's custodian bank partners. Comparable in offering fund administration and custody in Switzerland, but as part of a much larger private bank's broader asset-servicing portfolio rather than as an independent ManCo.

Direct peers

• Lemanik Asset Management S.A. Luxembourg ManCo serving asset managers, family offices, and institutional clients with fund structuring, administration, and ManCo services. Comparable as an independent third-party ManCo for European fund vehicles, particularly UCITS and AIF structures.
• CACEIS Investor Services Bank: Listed as S&F's custodian/administrator for the DWS CH Umbrella, but is itself a major pan-European asset servicer offering fund administration, custody, and ManCo services. Directly comparable as a fund administration and NAV calculation competitor, with significantly larger scale.
• GERIFONDS SA: Swiss fund management company (Fondsleitung) and fund administrator based in Lausanne, listed as one of S&F's own service partners for money-market funds. Directly comparable as a domestic Swiss ManCo serving institutional and private clients under FINMA supervision, competing for the same mandate-change opportunities.
• Universal-Investment: Frankfurt-based ManCo and AIFM with EUR 950B under administration and 50+ years of history. S&F's exclusive European fund-solutions partner, but also a competitor for cross-border fund structuring mandates. Comparable in fund administration and ManCo services, with broader European geographic reach.
• IPConcept (Luxembourg): Luxembourg-based ManCo and AIFM providing fund structuring, administration, and management for third-party asset managers. Closely comparable to S&F in offering outsourced ManCo services to asset managers and institutional clients, though focused on Luxembourg rather than Swiss vehicles.
• HANSAINVEST Hanseatische Investment-GmbH: German ManCo (KAG) providing fund structuring, administration, and asset servicing to asset managers, banks, and institutional clients. Comparable in offering independent third-party ManCo services in the DACH region, with similar asset-class breadth including real estate.

Regional players

• VP Fund Solutions (Liechtenstein): Liechtenstein-based ManCo and fund services provider serving asset managers, family offices, and institutional clients. Comparable as an independent third-party ManCo in the DACH region with overlapping target customer base, though focused on Liechtenstein and Liechtenstein-AIF structures rather than Swiss funds.

Emerging players

• Axxion S.A. Luxembourg-based ManCo offering UCITS and AIF fund management/administration to German-speaking asset managers. Similar niche positioning to S&F but primarily serving the German market, with partial overlap on Swiss-family-office and German-bank outsourcing mandates.
