Delivering a fresh approach, Ipes is a multiple award winning independent specialist provider of private equity fund services.

Ipes is a people business and the relationships our teams build with our clients are at the heart of our success to date. With the lifespan of a private equity fund generally around ten years, clients want to work with an experienced and stable team of people they can relate to and rely upon.

Our 130 professionals administer more than $50bn assets for over 90 clients from full service offices in London, Luxembourg, Jersey and Guernsey. More than 80% of Ipes people are qualified or qualifying, and our senior client facing team averages 18 years industry experience.

Our experience encompasses listed and unlisted entities and our client base includes buyout funds, venture capital funds, fund of funds and mezzanine funds in the UK and across Europe. Over 90% of our new mandates are referral driven.

Our clients tell us that our industry leading technology sets us apart. Capital Tracker is a fully web-based platform and enables our clients to interact with us and share common data, view reports in real time and customise the system to suit their needs.
