AI Fund Awards 2018

Acquisition International - 2018 International Fund Awards 9 Augentius Given the distinct challenges that are now being faced, managers are increasingly looking for administrative partners that understand the particularities of their business model inside out. The industry will continue to evolve in this direction. The expertise and experience of the best fund administrators mean that they are well placed to transcend the limitations of pure administration, and instead offer funds a wide range of services. As the market environment continues to become more complex, demand for these additional services will only increase. Ultimately, it is my belief that we are fast reaching a point where the name ‘fund administrator’ no longer paints the full picture. No longer a simple facilitator of back-office processes, the new breed of specialised fund administrator will come to fill an indispensable niche within the private equity and real estate industry.
