Acquisition International - September 2017 23 An Asset to the Industry as a ‘one stop shop’ specialised multi-boutique. In our mind, ‘transparency’, ‘flexibility’, ‘ethics’, ‘innovation’ and ‘processes’ represent a five-pillar approach for developing an innovative business, with a long-term company overview in the current market environment.” In closing, Ludovic serves up his thoughts on future developments and how these will affect the company. “The company’s long-term objectives remain: on- boarding relationship managers needing services (CHF 20 to CHF80 mio each); becoming a recognised external service provider for institutional clients; increasing our reputation via industry awards and/or recognised certifications and having representation offices abroad. “In terms of the wider hedge fund industry, small managers need to organise themselves and it means additional costs for them, except if they are able to outsource towards external services providers. This approach brings in a global solution, innovative tools (real time monitoring, etc) and a concrete advisory on both administration and business. TCA Asset Management’s solution is to help clients with upcoming changes, such as new rules from within the industry. Our company helps relationship managers to develop independence from the banks, to increase their profits and to service their clients with a global solution.”
