Fund administration

Fund administration is offered and provided to institutions from our offshore operations Close Fund Services Limited, Guernsey, which is subject to different regulation and compensation from similar services offered in the UK. Please see our ‘Important information’ for details of the regulation and compensation applicable.

Close Fund Services (CFS) is a well established, specialist, fund administration business with an impeccable track record. We provide a fully customised, integrated fund administration solution to our international client base, which includes Close International Asset Management Limited.

We place a great emphasis on the accuracy of the services we deliver to our clients, who benefit from a reduction in costs, administrative burden and risk through the use of a professional, specialist administration service provider.

International custody

Close International Custody Services Limited (CICS) in Guernsey provides mainstream global custodian services for Close Investment Services and execution only services to offshore discretionary asset management businesses, high net worth private clients and various third party fund managers and institutions. CICS also acts as trustee custodian for Guernsey regulated schemes. In the Isle of Man, Close Trustees (Isle of Man) Limited (CTIOML) acts as trustee custodian for various “expert” (EIF, QIF) and “retail” funds.

Please see our ‘Important information’ for details of the regulation and compensation applicable to these offshore services.

We are small enough to offer a personalised, flexible service to our clients and are not simply “transaction processors”. At the same time, the wider Close group has a number of well-integrated financial products and services, together with a well-established reputation for being a secure, highly respected organisation, which brings reassurance to our clients and results in a bespoke service offering.
