What is fund administration?

Fund administration refers to the set of back-office activities required to manage investment funds. This includes tasks such as calculating the net asset value (NAV), processing investor transactions, maintaining financial records, regulatory compliance, and preparing financial statements. Fund administrators ensure that the fund operates smoothly, transparently, and in accordance with legal and regulatory standards. They play a critical role in supporting fund managers and safeguarding investor interests.
