MiFID Tied Agent / CrossBorder Access
Smart. Flexible. Compliant. Your path to the EU/EEA market.
No one knows your fund better than you do. So why not market it yourself? Reuss Private Access supports you as an asset manager in bringing your fund projects to life – and helps you complete the value chain with smart, compliant distribution solutions.
The MiFID Tied Agent model opens up a third pathway – allowing unregulated companies to access the full EU/EEA market. By operating as a tied agent under a MiFID-licensed firm, you benefit from regulatory cover without needing your own license.
Fund distribution to clients in the EU/EEA requires regulatory approval. This typically means applying for a MiFID license – a process that is both costly and time-consuming – or obtaining a local license, which does not allow cross-border passporting.

How does the MiFID Tied Agent model work?
Reuss Private Access receives the distribution authorization for a fund. This involves entering into a distribution agreement with the fund’s management company or global distributor. The actual distribution is then outsourced to a tied agent operating under our MiFID license.
What does the tied agent bring to the table?
A tied agent can be any individual or legal entity based in the EU/EEA – even a basic limited company is sufficient. We’re happy to assist you with setup and advisory services.
What does fund distribution mean?
The tied agent can offer financial products to their network of professional clients within the EU/EEA. They operate under their own brand, ensuring independence and visibility. Fund advisory solutions are also available upon request.
