Whether you’re a smaller manager, a large global fund house, or a ManCo, we have the skill, expertise and infrastructure to help. We arrange and maintain the registration of your fund in your chosen markets on your behalf, reducing pressure on your internal resources.
Turning complex into simple
An integral part of the service is the management of your fund’s registration data, ensuring that it is accurately and efficiently maintained so that FE fundinfo and you can rely upon it for the compliant distribution of your fund documents and data. The registration service provides updates on changes to regulatory requirements and how they impact the specific registration of your fund.
