Daily or monthly administration
We have the flexibility to cost-efficiently apply daily fund administration, performance reporting and reconciliations for funds and segregated mandates. We recognise that pension schemes have unique needs, so we also provide monthly administration.
Flexible thinking
We recognise that each pension scheme has their unique set of needs. Flexibility lies at the core our Centre of Excellence for Pensions.
- Modular approach: Pension schemes can subscribe to our full front-to-back functionality or simply to individual modules, depending upon their individual needs.
- Custody agnostic: Flexibility extends to our custody agnostic approach, giving pension schemes the flexibility to access the solutions that fit their requirements
Daily administration - the high standards embodied in this approach help to put timely, better quality data in the hands of pension schemes, so they can future proof their governance framework and benefit from ‘look through’ solutions for full transparency on their assets.
