THE BERMUDA OFFICE

In 1996, our Bermuda office was the first office to be established. It now serves as our head office. We offer a full range of services to hedge funds established in offshore jurisdictions. We were one of the first administrators to receive a licence to operate under the Investment Funds Act, enacted in 2007.
