State Street has been selected to provide a range of hedge fund administration services for approximately USD8bn in assets managed by Anchorage Advisors.
International Fund Services, State Street’s hedge fund administration company, will provide administration services such as accounting and financial reporting services to funds managed by Anchorage.
"Our selection of IFS is based on their expertise in servicing the types of credit strategies that form a key focus of our investment approach," says Natalie Birrell, chief operating officer of Anchorage Advisors. "IFS’s technology leadership and reputation for exceptional client service were also key considerations in our decision."
Based in New York, Anchorage Advisors primarily invests in credit and special situations markets.
"This new mandate reflects the importance that hedge fund managers place in partnering with service providers that have the technology infrastructure and expertise to handle their increasingly complex fund structures," says Gary Enos, executive vice president for State Street’s alternative investments solutions group. "We look forward to developing a productive, long-term relationship with Anchorage Advisors as we help them bring new efficiencies to their operations."
