Investment Operations & IC Team Extension
Investment Professionals. Flexible Engagement. No overhead.
Building a full in-house investment team is expensive, slow and for many firms unnecessary. ECG provides PE funds, real estate funds, family offices, asset managers and investment banks with experienced investment professionals who integrate directly into your existing operations and work to your standards, your processes and your timelines.
This is not outsourcing. It is an extension of your team.
What We Provide
Investment Professionals
We provide financial analysts, investment associates and senior analytical resources with up to ten years of relevant experience across PE, real estate, credit, asset management and investment banking. Every professional placed by ECG has been assessed for technical capability, communication standard and fit with the client's specific operational context.
Compliance & Regulatory Support
We provide compliance professionals and legal associates who support funds and asset managers with regulatory reporting, ongoing compliance monitoring, fund documentation and the day-to-day legal and compliance workload that falls outside formal legal instruction.
Fund Operations Support
We support the operational layer of investment management, including fund accounting, NAV support, investor reporting, capital call and distribution processing, and the operational workflows that keep a fund running between transactions.
Ongoing Investment Operations
For firms that need a consistent operational layer rather than project-by-project support, we provide dedicated teams that function as an embedded part of the investment operation — covering research, monitoring, documentation and execution support on a retainer basis.
Engagement Models
Project-Based
Defined scope, fixed timeline and targeted delivery for transactions, due diligence
and analytical projects.
Retainer-Based
A dedicated team embedded into your business, providing ongoing analytical, operational and compliance support without the overhead of full-time hiring.
Scale-Up Support
For firms expanding into new markets or managing higher transaction volumes, we
provide additional capacity within two to four weeks.
