RBC Dexia Investor Services has won a mandate from Tages Capital SGR, a newly-launched independent investment management company based in London, Luxembourg and Milan.

RBC Dexia will provide depository bank, fund administration and shareholder services to Tages Capital’s domestic fund of hedge fund range, as well as for its Luxembourg-based UCITS funds.
