The fund administrator your clients can trust from day one.
Vector partners with fund formation attorneys and legal firms to ensure their clients have institutional-grade fund administration in place from launch. We make the handoff from legal work to operational infrastructure seamless, for you and for the manager.
Legal work and fund administration belong together from the start.
Fund formation attorneys do the critical structural work: LPA drafting, entity formation, regulatory counsel, side letter negotiation. Once the legal architecture is in place, the manager needs an administrator who can operationalize it without friction or delay.
Vector works alongside fund formation counsel as a trusted operational counterpart. We translate the legal structure into a functioning back office covering accounting, LP reporting, capital activity, and tax coordination, and stay in close communication with counsel when structural questions intersect with operations. The result is a smoother experience for your client and a stronger outcome for your relationship.
How Vector works with legal and fund formation partners.
Early-Stage Introduction
Refer Vector during the fund formation process, before first close, alongside LPA finalization, or at first capital call. Early engagement means we can align our onboarding to the fund's legal structure from the outset, reducing administrative friction for your client.
Coordinated Fund Launch
Vector works directly with the GP to stand up accounting, LP records, and operational infrastructure. We coordinate with legal counsel on structural nuances including entity hierarchies, waterfall mechanics, and side letter commitments so nothing falls through the gap between legal and operations.
Ongoing Alignment
Throughout the life of the fund, we remain a reliable point of contact for fund counsel when operational questions have legal implications. When amendments, new vehicles, or regulatory filings require operational coordination, Vector stays in sync with your team so the manager doesn't have to manage that communication alone.
Valence gives your clients the operational infrastructure their LPs expect.
Valence is Vector's proprietary fund accounting and reporting platform, purpose-built for private market managers. For your clients, it means LP and GP portals with on-demand access to capital account data, institutional-quality reporting packages, and a transparent audit trail from day one. For you, it means your clients are operating on infrastructure that reflects the quality of the legal work you delivered at formation.

Why legal firms refer their fund manager clients to Vector.
We Understand the Legal Structure Before We Start
Vector's team reads the LPA. We understand waterfall mechanics, GP carry structures, side letter terms, and how they flow into accounting and LP reporting. Your client doesn't need to re-explain their fund structure to an administrator who isn't paying attention.
We Make Your Clients Look Institutional
LP-ready reporting, reliable capital call processing, organized audit files, and a dedicated team that responds. When your clients operate on Vector's infrastructure, they present professionally to their LPs, which reflects well on the legal firm that put them together.
We Coordinate, We Don't Create Gaps
When legal changes have operational implications, Vector stays in communication with counsel rather than creating disconnects. We treat your firm as part of the professional services team, not a separate vendor.
Referral Is Simple, Outcome Is Reliable
Introducing Vector to a client is a single conversation. We handle onboarding, transition, and setup. Your client gets a seamless experience. Your referral reflects well on your practice without requiring ongoing management on your end.
When legal firms typically bring Vector in.
Fund formation attorneys encounter these moments consistently. Vector is built to step in at any of them cleanly and without adding complexity to the manager's plate.
First-time fund managers at or before first close
Emerging managers forming their first institutional vehicle often don't have an administrator in place when legal work begins. Introducing Vector early means the manager launches with a complete operational stack, not just legal docs.
Managers migrating from a prior administrator
When a manager outgrows a previous administrator or needs more structured reporting ahead of a fund raise, legal counsel is often the first to hear about it. Vector's migration process is designed to minimize disruption and transition records cleanly.
Fund amendments and new vehicle launches
When a manager adds a new parallel fund, SPV, or continuation vehicle, the operational setup needs to keep pace with the legal work. Vector can onboard new entities alongside existing structures with minimal friction for the GP.
Institutional LP closes requiring organized back-office diligence
Institutional LPs diligence the administrator as part of their fund investment process. Managers approaching an institutional close need a credible, established administrator with clean records. Vector is built for exactly that standard.

What your clients can expect from Vector from day one.
When you refer a client to Vector, you're handing them to a team that will reflect well on your firm. Here is what that looks like in practice.
A dedicated fund accountant as primary point of contact, not a rotating support queue.
LP and GP portal access through Valence on day one of fund launch, not months later.
Capital call and distribution processing that is accurate, timely, and clearly communicated to LPs.
Year-end coordination with the fund's tax and audit providers so your client doesn't manage that workflow alone.
What fund managers say about working with Vector.
I wholeheartedly recommend Vector to any GP who asks, or even doesn't ask. Their understanding of the nuances of the different asset classes is beyond a typical fund administrator.
My favorite thing about the Vector team comes down to one word: Vibes. It's a team that not only has prestigious talent, but also an amazing attitude. A group of folks truly invested in the relationship with managers.
I can't speak highly enough of Vector and the work the team has done. They have been incredibly responsive and direct when we need help and are beyond proactive in taking care of work that needs to be done.
