Backstop Solutions Group, a provider of Software-as-a-Service platforms for the alternative asset management industry, has opened its first European focused office in London.

The London office will cater to the UK and Western Europe, and better position Backstop Solutions Group to continue to serve its European customer base.

“This is an exciting time for us, as the London office represents our successful expansion into two major international markets,” says Jeremie Bacon, chief executive officer. “We’re thrilled to be able to offer unique technology alternatives along with our many years of experience working with institutional assets.”

In February Backstop Solutions Group opened its Asia Pacific office in Hong Kong.

The company’s on-demand platforms provide a way for firms to manage information and communicate effectively. Backstop, the company’s flagship platform, incorporates tools for fund marketing, investor relations, research management and fund of funds portfolio accounting in one fully integrated solution.

The company also provides website hosting, client communication and reporting solutions via its other hosted platform, InvestorBridge.
