## ■ Background and Purpose of Company Establishment
In recent years, administrative tasks supporting fund operations have become more complex than ever due to the sophistication of fair value assessment and compliance with various laws and regulations.
As issues like declining operational quality due to labor shortages and person-dependent processes become prominent, a sense of confusion arises on the front lines, where investment professionals cannot concentrate on their primary value-creating activities such as investment decisions and portfolio support.
N Squared directly confronts this challenge as a navigator to ensure that the "North Star" in fund management is not lost.
Instead of merely undertaking administrative tasks, we leverage approximately 20 years of practical experience and a network of specialists to work alongside GPs, collaboratively charting the course forward.
We believe that when we advance while looking at the same North Star, growth becomes not addition but multiplication (N × N = N²), and we are committed to contributing to the quality improvement of administrative tasks across the entire fund industry.
## ■ Service Overview
### (1) Fund Administration Services & In-house Support
We undertake all administrative tasks from establishment to operation and liquidation for various schemes such as LPS, LLP, GP corporations, and portfolio SPCs. For clients aiming for future in-house operations, we also offer support for a swift transition to an internal system, typically within 3 to 6 months, including business standardization utilizing AI and DX.
### (2) Controller/Manager Services (Semi-On-site)
For administrative tasks that cannot be fully covered by external outsourcing alone, we act as controllers or managers through a combination of semi-on-site office presence (1-3 days a week) and remote support. Highly experienced professionals proactively manage operations, strengthening the management structure at a more reasonable cost compared to full-time employment.
### (3) Training for Administrative Staff
We provide in-person training programs covering everything from basics to practical application for staff with 0 to 2-3 years of experience. Through interactive, dialogue-based training that leverages the instructor's practical experience, we help staff become effective team members quickly.
### (4) Advisory Services for Fund Administration Specialists
We flexibly respond to daily minor inquiries in fund operations, such as "practical questions not significant enough to ask a lawyer or tax accountant," through a monthly retainer-based advisory contract. In addition to acting as an advisor leveraging our 20 years of knowledge and specialist network, we also offer tailored, pinpoint support, such as handling specific tasks like LP reporting, based on each company's needs.
