Overview

Fund administration is often thought about as focusing on preparation of the NAV, but our team of professionals have experience providing a broad range of services and can provide full back office support to investment funds from small start-ups seeking to develop their track record to large trading funds with high frequency trading.

Our clients currently invest across a range of asset classes including: listed stocks and securities, property, private equity and crypto assets and within these asset classes run a range of different strategies.
