INVESTOR & TRANSFER AGENCY SERVICES
Transfer agency built around an accurate investor record.
Support investor records, dealing and capital events, payments, communications and provider hand-offs through a traceable operating model with clear formal responsibility boundaries.
Overview
Transfer agency is the operational servicing of investors/shareholders and the investor register. Depending on fund type and jurisdiction it can include investor setup, subscriptions/redemptions, transfers, capital calls/distributions, payments, register maintenance, statements and investor communications.
TA is most visible in open-ended funds with frequent dealing, but investor recordkeeping and capital servicing also matter for closed-ended private funds.
