Fragmented by default
Each party has its own portal, template set and file store. The only thing that spans them is an email thread, and the thread is not a record.
Built for Luxembourg fund operations
The operating system for launching and governing Luxembourg funds.
Artery coordinates the entire fund lifecycle across every party — management company or AIFM, fund administrator, depositary and auditor — on one shared, audit-ready system. AI sequences the launch, tracks provider engagement automatically and surfaces the oversight signals that would otherwise sit buried in email, spreadsheets and provider portals.
Private beta · EU-hosted · Software for regulated firms — Artery is not a regulated entity.
The problem
A fund launch is a multi-organisation project run on single-organisation tools.
Standing up a Luxembourg fund means moving documents, approvals and confirmations between four or more firms that share no system. The coordination is real work — and today it is done by hand, reconstructed after the fact, and often billed as a human service.
Manual and repetitive
The same fund facts are re-keyed into different forms by different firms, and every chase, reminder and re-send is somebody's morning.
Slow where it hurts
Launch timelines slip on waiting, not on work — an unanswered request, an unsigned attestation, a provider who was never formally engaged.
Hard to evidence
When the file is reviewed, the history has to be rebuilt from mailboxes and shared drives — with no single answer to who did what, when, and on whose authority.
The solution
One shared system, and one coordination loop that closes.
Artery models the thing the tools miss: the relationship between organisations. Who is engaged, in which role, on which fund, with what authority — and what each of them did about it.
Every party on the same fund
Operators and providers work on the same underlying record from their own organisation's view. No re-keying, no divergent copies, no "which version is current".
Each party sees only its own scope
A provider is engaged on a specific fund in a specific role and sees exactly that. Counterparties are isolated from one another by design.
The record writes itself
Every engagement, request, upload, attestation and approval is captured as it happens, in sequence, attributable to a named person at a named firm.
How it works
Launch, engage, coordinate, evidence.
Four movements — the same four every Luxembourg launch goes through, with the manual coordination taken out of the middle. Operator overrides carry a mandatory reason and an audit-significant marker, so the exceptions are as legible as the happy path.
01
Launch
Stand the fund up once — regime, vehicle, roles to fill — and the launch workflow lays itself out.
- Regime and vehicle captured once
- Step list follows your house process
- Every step has an owning party
02
Engage
Propose each provider into a named role. They accept by secure link — no account setup on their side.
- Proposal carries fund, role and scope
- Acceptance is what grants access
- Substitution is recorded, not overwritten
03
Coordinate
Requests, documents and approvals move against the step that asked for them, across organisations.
- One queue per party: your move
- Blocking reasons stated explicitly
- Documents versioned against the step
04
Prove
The trail is written as the work happens — sequenced, attributed, and hashed so it can be shown to hold.
- Named user at a named organisation
- Appended, never quietly rewritten
- SHA-256 evidence hash per decision
Who it's for
Built for the four parties who have to agree.
Artery is a multi-sided system. The operator runs the fund; the providers do their part from their own portal, on the same record.
Management companies & AIFMs
Stand up funds faster and keep oversight of every delegated provider in one place, with the evidence attached.
Fund administrators
Receive structured, complete requests instead of email attachments, and close them against a shared checklist.
Depositaries
See appointments, documents and attestations on the funds you are engaged on — with a standing record of what you confirmed.
Auditors
Read a sequenced trail rather than reconstructing one, with scoped access to the funds you are engaged on.
Why Artery
We built for the space between organisations.
Most fund software is built for one firm's internal work. The hard, expensive, unautomated part of a Luxembourg launch is what happens between firms — and that is the part Artery is built around.
Orchestration, not storage
Documents are the output. The product is the sequence: who must act next, on what, and what happens when they do.
Launch and govern, one lifecycle
The record created at launch is the record you govern against afterwards — the same parties, roles and history, carried forward.
Audit trail by design
Nothing is logged as an afterthought. The trail is how the system works, which is why it can be exported without a reconstruction exercise.
Who it's for
Two sides of the same record.
Operators run the fund and invite their providers. Each provider works its own scoped portal on the same underlying record — nobody sees more than the engagement grants.
Launch, coordinate, and prove oversight — from one cockpit.
- Stand the fund up and lay out every launch step with its owning party.
- Engage the AIFM, administrator, depositary and auditor through a recorded handshake.
- See what is outstanding, on whom, and how close the launch date is.
- Carry the launch record forward as the ongoing governance record.
Accept engagements, deliver documents, fulfil requests — securely.
- Receive an engagement by secure link, with fund, role and scope stated up front.
- Return documents and attestations against the exact step that asked for them.
- Work across several operator clients from one scoped portal.
- Have your responsiveness evidenced in the same trail the client reads.

Security & trust
Handled the way regulated firms expect.
Artery is a software tool used by regulated firms. Artery is not a regulated entity and provides no fund, legal, tax or advisory services — the language below is deliberately precise.
EU-hosted
Data is hosted within the European Union, with no default transfer outside it.
Built around GDPR
Data minimisation, purpose limitation and subject-rights handling are built into the data model rather than bolted on.
Immutable audit trail
Actions are recorded in sequence and attributed to a named user at a named organisation. Records are appended, never quietly rewritten.
Scoped by relationship
Access follows the engagement: a provider reaches only the funds and requests it has been engaged on.
FAQ
Questions we are asked first.
What is Artery?
Artery is software that coordinates the launch and ongoing governance of investment funds in Luxembourg. It puts the fund's management company or AIFM, fund administrator, depositary and auditor on one shared, audit-ready record, so the work that today runs through email threads and spreadsheets runs through a single system instead.
Who is Artery for?
Artery is for the organisations that stand up and run Luxembourg funds: management companies and AIFMs, fund administrators, depositaries and auditors. Operators run the fund and invite their providers; each provider works in its own scoped portal on the same underlying record.
What does Artery actually do?
It orchestrates a fund launch step by step, engages each service provider through a recorded cross-organisation handshake, coordinates the requests, documents and approvals that move between those organisations, and writes every action to an immutable audit trail that can be exported.
Is Artery a regulated entity?
No. Artery is a software provider. It is not a regulated entity and provides no fund, legal, tax or advisory services. Regulatory responsibility stays entirely with the licensed firms using the software.
Is Artery CSSF-approved?
No software is. Artery is designed for firms operating under the Luxembourg regulatory framework, and its workflow and record-keeping model is built around the documentation and oversight expectations those firms already work to. Approval and authorisation remain matters for the regulated firms themselves.
Where is our data held?
Artery is hosted in the European Union and built around GDPR data-protection principles, with role-scoped access so each organisation sees only the funds and requests it is engaged on.
How is Artery different from a document portal or a project tool?
A portal moves files and a project tool tracks tasks — both stop at the edge of one organisation. Artery models the relationship between organisations: who is engaged in which role, on which fund, with what authority, and what each party did. The audit trail is a by-product of the workflow rather than something reconstructed afterwards.
How do we get access?
Artery is in early access with select Luxembourg fund operators and service providers. Request access through the contact form and we will arrange a walkthrough of a launch on the system.
