How we support you with fund administration
Whether acting as the fund management company or as a partner for your fund administration, we customise our services to your needs. Fund administration is always an integral component of our fund management services; this ensures comprehensive support for you. Alternatively, you can delegate fund administration to us separately while retaining control through your own fund management company or an external partner. In either case you benefit from efficient procedures, precise accounting, clearly defined valuation processes and maximum transparency.
Securities accounting
Securities accounting
We handle the fund accounting for Swiss-based banks, asset managers and insurance companies that offer funds with listed securities to their clients. When doing so, we process transactions, reconcile them with the custodian bank and calculate the net asset value (NAV) on a daily basis. We prepare semi-annual and annual financial statements in a clear and transparent manner. That reduces your administrative workload while giving you an overview of your portfolio at all times. Thanks to automated processes, you benefit from an attractive cost structure.
Real estate fund accounting
Real estate fund accounting
Real estate funds are complex – we make them easy for you. We handle the accounting of portfolios with directly owned real estate for Swiss-based banks, asset managers, insurance companies, family offices and pension funds. We process the data from real estate managers (property accounting), calculate the net asset value, manage capital increases and distributions, and support you with transaction processing. Clearly defined processes ensure efficiency and give you a reliable basis for decision-making – so that you can focus on what matters most to you.
Fund accounting for alternative asset classes
Fund accounting for alternative asset classes
Alternative investments, such as private equity and infrastructure assets, require special solutions – we provide them. We support insurance companies, pension funds and family offices with the accounting for funds in alternative asset classes. We support you right from the start in the planning phase and collaborate with you to develop the appropriate fund structure, such as a limited partnership for collective investments (LPCI). We handle capital calls, distributions, valuations and reporting. This gives you transparency regarding performance, risks and liquidity – without extra effort and with a focus on your investments.
We value Swisscanto Fund Management Company as a reliable partner for our Pax funds. We have consistently received first-class support, both in the development of specialised solutions and in the implementation of regulatory requirements.
