Fund platforms are designed to provide investment managers with an easy way to start, run and operate a fund vehicle (crypto funds, hedge funds, venture capital funds, CTA's, SPV's and other forms of fund vehicles). Services may very but they often provide fund legal services (setup and on-going legal work), fund administration, audit and advice all under one roof.
Why would someone use a fund platform? Often, Investment managers are great traders or capital allocators, but they are not familiar with the operational aspects of running a fund. Fund platforms can help make things easier by covering the backend of fund operations.
