Who We Serve
Fund Management
International Capital Management, Inc., is an advisor to private investment company's as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940. For a full read of the Act, please click here, (this will open a new window). Succinctly, The Act's purpose, as stated, is "to mitigate and ... eliminate the conditions ... which adversely affect the national public interest and the interest of investors". Specifically, the act regulated conflicts of interest in investment companies and securities exchanges. It seeks to protect the public primarily by legally requiring disclosure of material details about each investment company. The act also places some restrictions on certain mutual fund activities such as short selling shares.However, the act did not create provisions for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to make specific judgments about or even supervise an investment company's actual investment decisions. The act requires investment companies to publicly disclose information about their own financial health.
The Investment Company Act applies to all investment companies, but exempts several types of investment companies from the act's coverage. The most common exemptions are found in §3(c)(1) and 3(c)(7) of the act and include hedge funds.
International Capital Management operates under an exemption from registration, as set forth in the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, pursuant to §275.203 (m)(1) of the act.

Type of Funds Managed
While nearly all of the funds that International Capital Management focuses on can be considered "Hedge Funds" or "Alternative Investment Funds" of some type, our focus is on:- Arbitrage focused, Alternative Investment hedge funds.
- Private Equity.
- Venture Capital.
These are the current areas of focus. We do however have decades of experience in Real Estate and Physical Precious Metal arbitrage. Accordingly, from time to time we may consider management of these types of funds.
Corporate Finance
While there exists a myriad of activities that potentially fall under this heading, International Capital Management, Inc., focuses solely on advisory work limited to corporate structuring, financial modeling, and buy-side advisory.
Corporate Structuring
International Capital Management's corporate structuring bridges the gap for domestic and international companies between Chartered Public Accountants, and Attorney and Solicitors. Specifically, our scope of engagement preforms research needed for the executives to be prepared to engage external accountants and council as to location, structure, capital, and debt markets available. Further, our research provides the executive team with a refined listing of legal professionals and accountant with vast experience within the company's space.Financial Modeling
Predominately, engagements are on an adjunct basis to in-house financial departments. These engagements tend to focus on "what if analysis", urgent modeling which must be outsourced, and post-acquisition research driven fiscal data analysis inclusive of integration and divestiture.Buy-Side Advisory
As this dove-tails into the Private Equity side of our fund management operations, we offer the same scope of service to outside entities seeking merger and acquisition advisory. The advisory takes into account all aspects of the M&A process. From target selection, modeling, cost analysis, equity and debt options, negotiations, due diligence, and closing. We also act as the central point of contact between the company and all other outside advisors.This form of advisory is separate from instrument acquisition advisory.
Instruments
We may from time to time, purchase and sell for our own account(s) various instruments. These include bank MTN's, US Treasury Bonds, and UK Gilts. Additionally, we also purchase for our own account(s) SBLC's. These instrument types, are also an integral part of the investment strategies employed within the funds we manage. As such, we have the ability to facilitate acquisitions and divestitures for other, non-proprietary funds, FO's, and MFO's.
In addition to sourcing, other services we may provide include:
- Acquisition Cost Analysis
