Alternative investments such as hedge funds, private equity, FOFs, interval funds, REITs, and BDCs require a different service model than what is provided to traditional fund types. Startup challenges, asset complexity, operational efficiency, cost effectiveness, security, and a shifting regulatory landscape complicate the ability to launch – and grow – these products.
Our solutions embody leading technology and service excellence and help promote greater control, enhanced transparency, and risk mitigation across the full range of investment servicing activities.
