Fund administrator

Specialism: Financial management

What is a fund administrator and what do they do?

Typically, fund administration comprises two parts: fund accounting and the activities of registrar/transfer agent. Fund administrators that concentrate on the latter provide a set of services that support the running and managing of a fund. They do all the back-office financial paperwork (particularly relating to applications and transfers), support the investment team in the administration of the assigned funds, and ensure the efficient planning and execution of the day-to-day functions. They must also set up funds correctly from a financial and legal perspective to minimise risk and optimise governance and control.

Capabilities

While the accountancy profession offers diverse career options and paths, the core capabilities required to perform at the highest standards remainsthe same - irrespective of skill level or job role.
