In today’s investment world, having good returns is not enough. Investors also care a lot about how clean, transparent, and well-run the fund behind the returns is. That is why the role of a fund administrator has become more important and more demanding than ever before.
A fund administrator is a third-party service provider that helps manage the non-investment side of a fund: accounting, valuation, reporting, investor communications, compliance, and more. The administrator acts as a partner to the fund manager (sometimes called the General Partner, GP), ensuring that operations, controls, and disclosures are handled professionally.
In this blog, we will explore what investors now expect from modern fund administrators. We will cover key expectations, the challenges, and examples of how good fund administration supports investor confidence.
