In October 2021, AMS Financial Group and Circle Partners partnered up to create an independent global fund administration firm catering to multiple locations in major financial hubs all over the world. The result? Bolder Group. The objective? To break barriers at the base of business.  

Fund administration firm Bolder Group has 18 locations, spanning from the Americas to Europe to Asia. And it continues to grow and evolve along with the ever-changing financial landscape. Our company’s philosophy is to be informed of the latest developments in the financial world, so we can keep our clients and partners involved and in control – at all times. This is how we, as a fund administration firm, work to meet clients’ needs and satisfaction. 

Fund administration is an art of its own. That is why a firm offering this kind of service takes a load off the back of fund and asset managers. Why are fund administration firms important? For one, fund managers want to stay laser-focused on their clients’ needs and portfolios. Doing that whilst taking care of the back-office matters is, to say the least, a tough challenge.  

Why do you need a fund administration firm like Bolder Group as a partner?  

The first reason you should outsource your fund administration solutions to a firm like Bolder Group is to ensure you can focus on core competencies. Not only will this save you time, but it will also save you from tons of non-revenue earning responsibilities. If you choose to do fund administration on your own, instead of hiring a firm to do it on your behalf, you will need human resources, dedicated office space and technology.  

The common assumption is that outsourced solutions are more expensive, but in fact, partnering with a fund administrator is a more practical solution than performing this task in-house. Considering economies of scale, fund administrators usually cater to multiple clients, through which you get a cost-effective yet high-quality service. 

Plus, with a fund administration firm as a partner, you will be free from the pressures of reports and compliance, the complexities of NAV calculations and data management.  

A top-notch fund administration service also requires updated technology that the firm can use for automated process flows, data management and analysis, investor portals and know-your-customer/anti-money laundering procedures. Bolder Group continuously invests in technology to fully take advantage of digital processes.  

Our firm, Bolder Group, provides 360 fund administration services that will free you from middle and back-office responsibilities, so you can spend your time growing your clients’ and investors’ portfolios.
